Switzerland is guinea pig heaven!
It is illegal to own only one guinea pig in Switzerland. The reason being guinea pigs are social creatures who grow lonesome without a friend. Ergo in 2008, Switzerland passed a law making it illegal to own only one guinea pig.
Guinea pigs are treated especially well in Switzerland. Their life expectancy is 84.1 years.
I wish our social problems were as simple to consider and resolve.
Does cheating ruin marriages faster than any thing else? Psychologist John Gottman says no, though it does not help. The most taxing for a marriage and the one that leads to most divorces is contempt, treating your spouse with disrespect. It will ruin a marriage faster than any other behavior.
On this day in 1940, Winston Churchill announced as he took office: “I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears, and sweat.” He did. He gave it his all. The English people were lucky to have him as their leader during the days of World War II.
The tennis match of the ages. Between the sexes. The special match of all time played in 1973. Bobby Riggs and Billie Jean King faced off in the first “Battle of the Sexes.” The tennis match of the century.
Bravado by Riggs was big time prior to the match. King was basically silent. King won. She whipped Riggs’ ass!
I watched the match on TV with my father.

The Versailles Treaty imposed horrible conditions on Germany following World War I. Hitler would never have come to power were it not for the Treaty. He was able to rally the German people to him by knocking the abuses of the Treaty, the unreasonable conditions imposed on the German people.

Two interesting things about Trump today.
The first is he’s in China selling his soul/our soul to the company store.
The other involves his night time ramblings. It is well recognized Trump does not sleep well. So he spends his night times writing multi-attacks on everyone and everything. The Daily Beast reported he is not alone during the dark hours when he does so. A young lady is alleged to help him.
It is suspected the young lady is White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt. Whether she or some other young lady, the person should be given credit for helping Trump with his Truth Social rampage.
Enjoy your day!
