GETTING TIRED

The Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company has been running a commercial that shows their famous blimp (which, by the way, has small tires for landing) and airplane, auto, truck and race car tires of all kinds. The company is also involved in various kinds of manufacturing, oil and gas, pipelines and such. They are a very large company.

In the commercial for Goodyear they use this tag line for their tires: ‘Still. Always. Forever.’

Now, this is interesting because I thought we were the only ones who would be Still, Always and Forever when we are floating around in thin white clouds, playing harps and wearing big white robes and wings flapping around in the universe singing worship songs, with smoke machines and videos of clouds and wind. But it appears there will also be blimps, tires, and various rubber items floating around as well.

I’m headed over to the other side of the Pond for some Cuban Coffee and Strawberry Shortcake with Whipped Cream and try to visualize this whole scene. Maybe we are getting ‘tired’ by someone.
