Wow. I’m covered. Energetic, perky engine AND energetic, perky hair.
I should be giving my undivided attention to more important concerns, like where this presidential election is going with all its nasty nitpicking, bullying, backbiting, and middle school-style name-calling. I AM paying attention and I’m appalled. I'm worried.
We have two terrible alternatives. One of these people will actually become our next elected president.
I should also be worrying more about global warming, the vanishing rain forests, the possible extinction of Monarch butterflies and whatever is happening to honeybees. I should be more up-in-arms about police brutality and immigration policies and terrorists and unhinged people who shoot up shopping malls.
I AM paying attention and I’m scared witless about these issues. The world is going to hell in the proverbial handbasket.
But my shampoo promises invigorating clean for all hair types as well as an infusion of 100 percent natural rosemary and mint, two herbs that its label claims are known for their invigorating properties. I suppose this is a good thing.
The gasoline I prefer -- BP – also contains Invigorate. I wondered how this works. Presumably not with herbs.
I went to the BP Website and it tells me my car has “a dirty little secret.” It’s hiding dirt left behind by ordinary fuel (i.e. fuels sold by other oil companies) and my car’s engine therefore harbors icky deposits, a dirt-clogged fuel injector and worse. BP’s Invigorate additive “helps eat the dirt in engines, increases fuel economy and cleans valves.”
I suppose the addition of invigorating rosemary and mint also deep cleans my hair more efficiently and gives me more frequent good hair days.
In my view, our presidential choices are terrible. But isn’t this what democracy is? Majority rules. I am not the majority, apparently. Democracy is the best government yet, but it isn’t perfect.
Neither is my shampoo.
Nor my gasoline.
I'm feeling a tad discouraged and depressed. I wonder if this "Invigorate" stuff is edible.
