My friend Julie kindly commented on this blog that all my links seemed to be leading to the Dr. Bronner Label Generator (which is on my sidebar)! I had no idea this was happening, as my browser (Mozilla) showed that all my links were fine when I tested them. Turns out, when I checked my template, that I hadn't typed in some necessary code-thing (sorry, Ms. Strega was born long before there were things like html; Mr. Strega looked at my template, scratched his dear head a few times, then typed a couple of things in to fix it). Please comment or email me if things keep leading to Dr. Bronner (I don't publish an email address for those of you who don't have it, but you can comment and I will read it).
Well, I must say, it's fit revenge on Dr. Bronner's part, because I tend to poke fun at him a lot; I've been using this brand of soap for 20+ years. Once, my former brother-in-law Terry visited with my sister; Terry used Dr. Bronner's in the shower, came out (fully dressed, of course) and said, "What's with that soap label--it keeps going on about "tortured-blinded-Master-Marxist-slave!" (to say nothing of Dr. Bronner's "assisting" of poems like "If" by Rudyard Kipling). Apparently, the real Dr. Bronner talked very much like his labels--I read an interview someplace in which he was described as answering questions quite lucidly for a bit, then veering off into talking about "the eighteen uses" and "the Moral ABC." It seems that Dr. Bronner has exacted his revenge on Ms. Strega's making fun of him for twenty years by gathering up all her links in his capable (yet soapy) hands and showing her that things really are "all-one!"
