Never To Be Forgotten  
Odessa Texas’s Presidential Museum is getting out while they can, trying to unload one of their inventory of former Midland-Odessa Bush homes.
This slice of rustic splendor and site of early Bush political disappointment 
 can be yours for the low, low price of $239,900!

Further up the food chain is this fab Ford property for sale in Beaver Creek Colorado. Only $15 million separates you from skiing like Gerry Fancypants. 
Sadly, the Bush property has knocked out one of the Ford home’s unique selling propositions,
“…. the even rarer distinction of being the only former president’s home for sale in the country.”

More detail emerges on new rides at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, Museum & Fun Park, as a team of Kansans travel to California to install a Boeing 707 flight simulator in a shed near the Air Force One Pavilion.
Kansas’s El Dorado Times reports that the vintage hardware’s sad fate is to reward impressionable youths who have survived role playing exercises pretending to re-invade Grenada.
Let’s Play House 
In the course of reviewing the surprising amount of action a young Doris Day got in her Hollywood years, the author of “Doris Day: Reluctant Star” has America’s Girl Next Door bonking future president Ronald Reagan, her co-star in “The Winning Team.”
“The two would sneak off to his apartment high in the Hollywood Hills and make love while marvelling at the panoramic view below.“
Those fearful this means Ronnie might have cheated on Nancy can take comfort in Day’s biographer’s claim that all the gazing and getting busy ceased with her 1951 marriage to Marty Melcher. Reagan’s Jane Wyman era ended in 1948 and he and the former Nancy Davis weren’t married until 1952.
Leaving a fair sized window for pre-presidential philandering without violating the sanctity of marriage.
Dance Fever 
He messes up the alleged setting for Richard Nixon’s jocular query if his conversation partner had “done any fornicating over the weekend,” but
“As difficult or unsettling as it might be to imagine, before Richard Nixon became U.S. president, he came here with his wife, Patricia, and led a congalike line between tables while warbling the refrain, “Severa … Severa … Severa.”
The club’s website is mute on this question.
Severa Silence 
When did this storied affair take place? One account has private citizen Nixon in Lisbon in 1963, winning future friends. Nixon cheered Portugal’s efforts to maintain white rule in Africa, a small preview of the Republican love affair with South Africa reluctantly ended when Apartheid did.
The Red Phone Diaries 
The Reagan Presidential Library has opened yet another theme-park like exhibit to complement it’s Air Force One display, taking groups of 5th and 6th graders back to the magical Reagan Era.
Students will get to play the President and his advisers in the Oval Office, officers in a military command center, and press briefers and the media in the White House Press Room.
Their mission: invade Grenada!
We are constantly told that Presidential Libraries grow more objective over time, as the death grip of the Ex, their family and their staff fades.
The Reagan Library is still very much the other way.
The Executive Director touts the new exhibit’s “unmatched creativity,” and they do take a bold approach to facts. Students will work at a simulated “Command Decision Center” 
from the USS Ronald Reagan, which while impressive brand loyalty is a total anachronism. The USS Reagan didn’t exist at the time of the invasion.
The Reagan Library’s description of the Grenada buildup 
leaves out the simultaneous Marine barracks disaster in Beirut, a story Grenada providentially removed from the headlines.
And not by accident. The Library’s John Lehane presents the Press Room mock-up as where “the White House related the scenario to the American public through the press,” which is sort of true. The press was forced to rely on Reagan Administration handouts because the Pentagon banned media from covering the invasion, overturning decades of cooperation.
