The Stick

There are times when I really wonder about life, the whys and whatfors,  and from time to time the cosmic and nihilistic "what is the point of it all?!" crosses my mind.  During these times I rarely come to any great conclusion, but I usually think it is to create.  Whether it be for the good of mankind and progress, or simply for the grandeur of mankind.   Be it art or science, human beings need to thrive for the next best thing.  I think we can all be thankful for penicillin, modern laser surgery, and developments in cancer research.  Many can praise those who have made advancements in the realms of vision and hearing, some dole out accolades to the scientists who have brought us viagra and silicone implants.  I am thrilled to be writing this from my kitchen table while I boil eggs (this recipe is killer).  However, a new item has come into my life which has altered my existence instantaneously, and I have no idea how to thank the creator enough.  Ladies and Germs, I introduce you to the Dirt Devil StickVac.

If you live in a city apartment smaller than 800 square feet with hard wood floors, area rugs and lots of pre-war molding, this is the must have item of the season.  Make that year.  It is 4 pounds of plugged in power.  Not only can it cover rugs and bare floors, but it converts to a stick for the hard to reach crevices that some half rate contractor figured would just fill in with grime.  THEN, it can be a hand vac, which is great for small dark corners and terrifying your cat when he is trying to eat.

All this action for less than 25 bucklngs.  I had my doubts, but they were sucked up and chucked away along with the large grey wig I managed to collect in the bagless canister.  Life altering, my friends.  Life altering.
