Exploring American History, Wednesday, December 4, 2024

"While we've concentrated mostly on national parks and monuments this class," Steve began, standing in front of the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, "they are not the only organization charged with the protection of our nation's history. Many of you have already visited the National Archives downtown in Washington, DC, to see the founding documents of the United States: the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. But the Archives is also charged with keeping track of all the other historical documents as they come into existence. Since Herbert Hoover, presidents have established presidential libraries in their home states to display all of the, well, stuff, they accumulate as president."

"We picked Reagan because, well, he's a huge influence on everything as it stands today," Tony added. "Not really for the better, but it is important to know."

"We're in California in December, too," Steve said with a little smile. "That was a factor as well. Ronald Reagan was president for eight years in the 1980s and oversaw the end of the Cold War. He also drastically cut many of the government-funded social safety nets that had been in place since the 1940s." He gestured around. "This is considered the most extensive of the presidential libraries, so there's a lot to learn and discover. You can even go sit in a replica of the Oval Office. Maybe you'd make better decisions!"

Steven.

"And we'll be buying In-N-Out for the class." As a bribe, Tony?

It was certainly working for Steve. "Oooh!"

After browsing through stuff her parents probably lived through, Kamala was certainly more interested in the food portion of the trip.

This should surprise no one.

She settled into the booth where she had a Neapolitan milkshake and a basket of fries to much on.

"Do not get us kicked out of another Presidential library," Tony warned. "It'll start a trend online and actually I wouldn't mind that being a Reagan legacy."

So maybe do?

"I know, I know," Tony said, patting him on the chest.

"You are going to go viral again," Tony warned. "And I'll send you all the thirsty fan edits I find."

He'd send them no matter what.

Tony hummed in deep consideration. "I think it was artistic, personally."

It was also his lockscreen for about a month.

"False, I'm a scientist. Without any bias at all."

LIES.

Tony stuck his tongue out at that in a very, very mature fashion. But that wasn't really helping his case when he was rather suddenly shorter and and more furry.

Or was it? He was a pretty adorable cat.

Tony meowed back, lifting up a paw to look at it like it had betrayed him somehow. Then looked up at Steve plaintively. He couldn't survive in California on his own!

Tony grumbled something that was mostly just surly little yowl as he immediately tried to snuggle in against Steve's shoulder and neck.

Also. Cats sometimes just do cat things.

Suck it, Reagan.
