Guinea Pigs
What do you know about guinea pigs? They are not from Guinea, nor are they pigs. They came from the Andes and are a staple there. Long ago, a lot of 1,000 guinea pigs and lamas were sacrificed to appease the gods for better crop harvests. Nowadays, they are raised for food in small, shallow holes inside the homes of those in South America that raise them, for food, although not in large numbers.
There are many breeds, including long and short-haired versions of various ‘forest colors’. My two are American and Coronet.
As for behavior as pets, they are mostly nocturnal, yet are awake off and on in daytime. They need diet food and like sweet Timothy Hay. Like humans, these rodents need vitamin C, usually put in water or food by liquid from their owners. They can ‘put up with’ a 2’ X 3’ cage minimum and need ”social time” as they are ”social animals”, so are best kept in pairs or with litter mates.
For me, particularly, I’ve noticed they can tolerate noisy vacuums and dishwashers; and, they have hearing up to 50,000 hertz. On the other hand, I’ve heard lights switching on and off may upset them. As an owner, one should check their paws, ears, eyes, nose, teeth and fur weekly for ‘irregularities’. Being prey animals, they have a tendency to hide their faults from predators; that they ‘think’ is everyone else, and is hard to breed out.
They speak in ”wheeks”, sounding somewhat like small whistles, squeals, ”chuffs”, and other vocalizations; and may display dominant/submissive behavior, like territorial hindquarters rocking or sounding a low frequency “chatter”.
These animals are a joy to keep and watch, and I fully would recommend them as pets.

Why not Washington, Oregon or California? More Sun, later. In that case, include any free space state. Spread out the time the Sun is shining, Maybe even in each time zone.
We have the technology, our governments just need to stop listening to the fossil fuel lobby. However, as long as the fossil fuel companies keep giving them money, that’s rather unlikely.

Oroville Dam Spillway
The spillway is very damaged, and seems to be played down by the media. Extensive damage could take months and costs could exceed hundreds of millions of dollars, says this author. The deep gash left by the exiting 100,000 fps waters caused dirt, rock and root to flow with it to the Feather River below. Pictures show detail of result. With the spillway shut off to proceed with clearing debris from the lower release area, water has been building up behind the dam. DWR says the spillway could be used again in a week.
