- Woody Allen: Eighty percent of success is showing up
You can achieve anything if you don't mind who gets the credit
From the song Ain't we got fun: The rich get richer and the poor get - children

No good deed goes unpunished

- It's appropriate that this question comes at the end of John's week in Florida, a state whose residents are especially harmed by daylight savings time. Fla is the southernmost state in the eastern time zone and hundreds of miles west of most east coast states, so the last place to see sunrise in the summer. In Fla, 6 am EDT is always before sunrise. Washington is close to the meridian, so the politicians there are blissfully unaware of how the policy effects us in Fla. For more, see: www.floridahatesdst.org/
- "Practice, practice, practice" - This reminds me of Malcom Gladwell's Outliers, in which he argues that mastery of anything - whether it's the Beatles in music or Bill Gates in the computer world - takes 10,000 hours of practice. The only requirement for the individual is to find the money to create time for practice, have a strong desire to commit to the work, and practice, practice, practice until they achieve success.
- Re the final statement, that vinegar can grow mold and vinegar eels, supposedly vinegar eels are only found in unpasteurized vinegar. U.S. manufacturers normally filter and pasteurize their product prior to bottling to prevent the eels from occurring.
