Last Sunday, many Americans were glued to the tube for the LIX Super Bowl game. However, I grew up in Pittsburgh. If the Steelers weren’t playing, I wasn’t watching the game. So, where was I? I was at Southlake YMCA that afternoon. I go to the sauna at the Y and sit in the dry sauna for 30 minutes daily. On Sunday, I arrived late in the afternoon, went to the locker room, changed my clothes, and started to walk to the pool area.

I wasn’t paying any attention to the world around me; I was there for a half hour of sweating. However, I walked from the locker room to the sauna and couldn’t believe who was walking next to me...Mike Tomlin, the Steeler’s head coach. I’d recognize his face anywhere.

Mike Tomlin

I guess the guy saw the expression on my face and smiled. By that time, I realized that it wasn’t Tomlin. I told the guy I thought he was the Steeler’s head coach. We laughed as we entered the sauna.

The game was probably just beginning when I got home from Southlake. I didn’t care; I had other things to do. The next day, I noticed that the Eagles had beaten the Chiefs. What interested me were the advertisements. As I looked at several, they were okay but nothing mind-blowing.

However, like the excitement of seeing Tomlin at the sauna, I was fascinated by the Jeep ad featuring Harrison Ford. Interestingly, Ford and I are 82; he was born six months before me. He didn’t do the ad for Jeep because he needed the money. Watch the video.

Beyond the commercial for Jeep, Ford wants to get a mindset across to all Americans...unrelated to buying a car. “Choose what makes you happy. My friends, my family, my work make me happy. This Jeep makes me happy…even though my name is Ford. That's my owner's manual. Get out there. Write your own.”

Ford is insistent upon the belief that “Life doesn't come with an owner’s manual.” We aren’t born with an owner’s manual; we must write our own.” If we don’t, someone else will write one for us.

Essentially, Ford expands the owner’s manual issue. “ Freedom is for everybody. But it isn't free. It's earned.” We won't be free for long if we are lazy and aren’t engaged in life.

Finally, another historical truism. Ford stated, “The most sacred thing in life isn't the path: It's the freedom to choose it.” Ford wants to grasp that the most sacred issue in life is the freedom to choose it. One of Ford’s choices was to support Kamala Harris as our next president.

Okay. I want to add one additional item to Ford’s litany in his commercial and his support of Harris. I call it my what-if question. What if Harris was elected and beat Dishonest Donald? And suppose that she replicated Trump’s more than 60 inane executive orders. She would be on TV signing all her executive orders like Trump did. Essentially, Harris would merely sign what Trump signed.

Harris’ Executive Orders and signed

How would Trump, Vance, Musk, and all the Republican Senators and House Members respond to Harris’ executive orders? Hardly anyone in Congress dissed Trump’s behavior. I wonder how they would respond if President Harris did the same thing. As Harrison Ford cautions them, “So, choose, but choose wisely.”
