Today’s Thoughts
Chilly
mornings have been nicely warming up .
Congratulations
to the Cardinals on their last second win yesterday. Good luck to the Broncos
tonight against the Bills.
I
am continuing to enjoy a good night’s sleep and no pain in walking. Only wish I
had done my physical therapy much sooner.
Enjoy

Switzerland
has a law that forbids their citizens from owning a single guinea pig. If you
want to have one of these critters as a pet, you are obliged to own at least
two or more. Although this might seem like a bizarre law, it's really
heartwarming: Switzerland actually doesn't want the furry little creatures
getting lonely.
You
see, guinea pigs are incredibly social animals, and they do much better with a
partner by their side.
