deadpresidents

Answering that question about writing to Presidents reminds me of something that I found fascinating. When I lived in Austin many years ago, I went to the LBJ Library a million times obviously, but on one of my visits, I met with the Supervisory Archivist who explained some of the inner workings of the library to me (a really cool experience, by the way). When you walk into the LBJ Library, one of the most incredible things is seeing the several floors of archival materials in their red boxes:

Those are filled with millions of feet of papers -- from the important to the seemingly meaningless -- from President Johnson's Administration and they are available for archivists to research. But to illustrate how LBJ and his Administration archived EVERYTHING, the supervisory archivist told me that if your parent or grandparent (or you, if you were alive at the time) wrote a letter to President Johnson or the White House between 1963-1969, it is archived somewhere in those files. How cool is that?!

Putting together IKEA furniture is easy as hell actually, for as long as you know how to follow simple visual instructions, have a buddy with you who can also follow instructions, and both of you can communicate with each other about what you're going to do next and how you'll do it.
