Agreed. I made the same leap after having those stats spelled out to me in
a book called "Coming Up for Air" by Beth Sawi.
I'm a BIG advocate of having a life. If you're getting some extra
education related to your job, it makes sense to schedule it during work
hours. I have taken a night class that was job-related, but that was my
idea, not theirs. The company only owns my soul for the prescribed 40 per
week.

Forget baby oil - where does neatsfoot oil come from? The feet of neats?
Are they farm-raised neats, or the wild ones?
