Driving with my aunt Laurie today (she took me to get my 2nd ever massage thank you thank you thank you!)…the black mercedes in front of us had a bumper sticker reading “I’m for McCain because he’s not a socialist” Laurie said shaking her head “Thats a $65,000 car. I feel like bumping into it.”
Speaking of cars and politics, I watched meet the press at the gym this morning (because I don’t have a t.v. and my mom informed me Obama was on) There was a toyota commercial at the end of the interview I thought very beautiful. Its the one where a hybrid car is built from earth, straw, wood, leaves amidst a New Zealand looking setting, peaceful, pretty music… with the scene filmed as if moving in a circle and then the car is unbuilt with all its parts vanishing in sunlight and storms to a voice saying something like, “the best way to impact the environment is to have as little impact as possible.” Can you imagine seeing that commercial even 5 years ago?
