One for the Gipper
I am not a Republican. I’m just putting that out that in case you were ever in doubt. I am, however, a respecter of history and politics and will attend various events just to broaden my scope. Today was a visit to the Ronald Regan Presidential Library in Simi Valley. The view is magnificent and the architecture aesthetically beautiful. I liked the 80s… good times. It was the ME generation and decade; I didn’t worry about too much and was pretty happy. So despite not revering Reagan as the Republican’s Messiah, he was a decent president who oversaw my teenage years.
Quite a bit happened in the 80s… sadly, the library was lacking in documentation of events such as meetings with Mikhail Gorbachev and Margaret Thatcher. Instead there was an impressive display of boots and belt buckles as well as dozens of Nancy’s designer dresses, table settings, and movie posters. I shouldn’t be surprised… the 80s lacked substance, so why not the presidential library? I was impressed, however, by Air Force One. VERY cool.
