From what I understand, a big part of the explanation of the numbers of Spain and Portugal is not that there are so many divorces but so few new marriages. The divorce rate is measured as the quotient of divorces and marriages in a year, I believe, so the "percent of marriages ending in a divorce" header is misleading.

Every visit, I try and spend a moment or two playing the Roland digital piano they're selling at Costco. I'm waiting for someone to recognize Bach's Art of Fugue...

People leave a space at the edge for a line piece, which clears all four rows. Sometimes it takes a while for the line to get there and the pieces keep piling up till it does.
