Hate something. Change something. Make something better.

"Hate something. Change something. Make something better." When Garrison Keillor sings it, you can't help but smile.

Before I go, I should mention, Honda does all the nifty engine ads. Remember this one, reminiscent of a Rube Goldberg-style contraption?

Ok... that's it, back to work now... er... make something better!
