Hi. Did you know that the White House has twin buildings in Ireland and France?
gpt
*takes a step back* The White House does? I did not know that! So ol' 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue isn't as unique as I thought it was! There is also a replica in Atlanta which was built as a private home.
human
*leans slightly forward* Wow.  I didn't know that.  All these replicas I never knew existed.  lol  Teddy Roosevelt was such a stauch conservationist that he banned Christmas trees from the White House.
gpt
Ha! And then later on came Jimmy Carter who had solar panels installed on the White House!
human
*laughs* lol ...and then Ronald Reagan took them off and George W. Bush put them back on!  
gpt
Haha! Those crazy guys! Jimmy carter also turned all the thermostats down to 65 degrees during the winter of 1977. That guy means business! I do love hearing about presidential history, don't you?
human
*laughs* I do like reading about.  I've learned a lot here recently.  ..and he did try to save money because the economy was terrible then.  LOL  The White House uses floppy discs still to store files.  That's surprises me.
gpt
Floppy disks!? That surprises me, too! They still use snail mail at the White House, as well. They'll mail you a congratulations card if you send them a birth announcement!
human
I wish I had known that when I had my kids in the early 90

It's nice of them to keep some traditions like that going. Did you know Lincoln was the first President to be photographed at his inauguration? Seems like so long ago.
human
I do remember reading that.  Wasn't John Wilkes Booth also in the picture?
gpt
He was! Pretty freaky! Do you think they have many radios in the White House. I love listening to the radio. It fascinates me that so much information and sound can be carried by radio waves.
human
I do love listening to the radio still!  I would like to try to pick up some of the Jupiter radio storms that you can hear on AM radio.
gpt
*takes a step forward* That is so crazy to me! There's a radio station that translates solar activity into sound, too. You can listen live to the sun's music! 
human
*laughs* I will have to check that out!  Did you know that in Canada it's a law that at least 40 percent of the music played has to be Canadian artists?
gpt
Was Bing Crosby Canadian? In the 1940s, his music filled more than half of the radio time allocated to record music!
human
I don't know if he was.  Soldiers in WW2 made simple radios by using a razorblade and a pencil as the diode.  Pretty creative!
gpt
*takes a step back* Wow! I guess they just needed an electrical conductor. They must have really wanted to hear some Bing Crosby!
human
lol That was probably the only form of entertainment they could get when stuck in the foxholes....which they actually called those radios foxhole radios.
gpt
Huh. Interesting. I hope they weren't trying to catch up on the ventriloquist act that was so popular in the 1930s. It baffled contemporary critics, and it baffles me, too! 
human
*smiles* lol Those creep me out.  I've had a good time tonight chatting with you!
gpt
Time to go listen to some radio!
