>I have lived in Tucumcari for, on and off, 25 years and I have only been to the
>Blue Swallow office once to do some work for the lady who owned it for so many
>years.  She never changed the price after she paid it off in the 1950's and it
>was still $29/night back then, though I think plenty of people took pictures,
>not too many folks actually stayed the night back then - not just retro but
>still decorated last in the 50s!  I don't know if more recent owners did
>upgrades or not.

Part of their charm these days is keeping everything as close to original
as possible (while also keeping it functional) and with some new stuff like
flat screen TV added.  I enjoyed my short stay.  There were a lot of folks
that were stopping to take pictures (when it wasn't storming).

>I just was a bit more inspired by people like Reagan than I am today in
>American Leadership. I like Trump as the successful man that is working to
>serve our country, he certainly isn't doing it for the money - it would be far
>easier just to go back to being a real estate tycoon and enjoy himself, but he
>is fighting like a champion. I like that.

I also found our past leadership more inspiring.  Most of today's crop are
rather uninspiring or, if they do inspire, they are inspiring dislike.

>A seemingly growing number of Americans would like to abolish the Constitution
>and install something more socialistic. It would certainly be easier, but I am
>not a fan of breadlines and authorities getting into my affairs "for the good
>of society".  Liberty is rougher but I prefer it.

Me also.  The government is not your parent.
