Holiday Inn Circa 1959

I found these Holiday Inn photo's in an old Life magazine - check 'em out:




The design and color scheme just blow me away - someone was paid a lot of money to design this, and it looks like a kid's nursery, not the Presidential Suite it actually is.

The funny thing; these pics are not from an old Life magazine - they're from the web site of a newly built Holiday Inn that just opened - perhaps a year ago. Was the fairly modern television on the dresser a giveaway?

Mushrooms with Petals?

These mushrooms - which I discovered growing outside my local Best Buy - are more interesting looking than your typical undead grey variety of fungus flower.


Perhaps they're a rare breed that grow only when nourished with the unrequited tears of true geeks pining for tech they can never afford?

I wonder if it would be healthy to have decorative mushrooms growing in pots in a home? Could you encourage deeper colors by introducing dyes to their water?
