@RusA #9858686 i though Democrat in 2020 want to give changes to Pete Buttigieg, but then America still to conservative for gay president
Buttigieg was one of those people that ran for President just to get the name recognition. There's usually two or three serious candidates, and a dozen or two also-rans. He didn't have a chance to get the nomination, not because he's gay, but because he was too young and inexperienced. He's about my age, in fact, and just barely old enough to run for that office at all. And his only political experience is being mayor of a small city in Indiana - not a lot of training for what to do if North Korea suddenly attacks Guam and we've got to do something about it. I'm glad, though, that he hasn't disappeared altogether like most of the other also-rans. Having a low-level Cabinet position is the best place for him right now, so he can see how Washington works, and maybe he'll have a chance at the nomination in 2028 or 2032. By then he'll be 46 or 50 years old, respectively, which is about the right age.
Oh...i saw there is a retro hotel at the rest area near California, but the building not that wierd from the outside.
"Retro" doesn't mean just the oddball roadside attractions, but everything that was popular in a given era that seems quaint and charming now. Most retro focuses on the Fifties and early Sixties, because that was one of the more creative times, and that's what Boomers remember from their childhoods. A lot of it focuses on Mid-Century Modern furniture and Googie architecture, both of which expressed their idea of what the future would look like - which looking back from the real future, looks cute in an old-fashioned sort of way.
My interest is mostly in retro pop culture (old movies and TV shows, books and magazines, etc) and the gruesomely creative uses of canned foods suggested by the companies that made them. https://www.boredpanda.com/strange-vintage-food-cooking-recipes/ I've posted a few things like this on the Food thread, just to make fun of them.
