Fueling Your Body
Weed, California, April 25, 2007: You got to provide your body with fuel.Not just any old stuff. Not low-grade fuel. You want the good fuel.
If you choose to drive an old junker, sure, maybe you give it any old gas. But winners at the Indy 500 don't put any old gas in their racecars. Because to get the best from the racecar, after tuning it up, they give it the very best fuel.
We're not trying to become racecars. But here's an "Obnosis."
Main Entry: ob·no·sis
Pronunciation: "awb-'nO-s&s
Function: noun
Etymology: New Latin, from Greek AbboGnosis, from aggaraOskein to distinguish, from obbo- + gignOskein to know what is known
1 the art or act of observing that which is readily and obviously true
2 observing the obvious

How I Discovered the Three-Minute Gym
Weed, California, May 2007: The other day I learned that the discovery of Bubble Gum was by accident.A fellow, who worked at the gum factory, was trying some different formulas and discovered quite by accident that his formula (a) allowed bubbles to be blown, and (b) when they burst, they were dry on your face and didn't leave a mess.
The first version was clear colored. Boring. So he decided to add some food coloring to it, and the only color he had on hand was pink. Voila! Double Bubble brand bubble gum was born. And to this day, bubble gum is traditionally pink.
ACCIDENT BECOMES SOMETHING NEW
There is a saying that "It Steam-Engines at Steam-Engine Time." Meaning that a thing appears when its time has come. That when conditions are right, the new idea emerges. And we see examples of this throughout history. Marconi and Tesla were both busy inventing the radio at the same time on opposite sides of the globe.
Maybe the time was right, but I stumbled onto the Three Minute Gym quite by accident.
