• A small compliment or sign of thanks can make our day.

ROAD TRIP! _ Grab your significant other and road trip-it to the Big Idaho Potato Hotel, a six-ton steel, plaster, and concrete structure on farmland 20 minutes outside of Boise. From its realistic, brownish-gray, lumpy exterior to its white-plaster interior — complete with AC — the Big Idaho Potato Hotel provides cozy digs to curious couples. It all started with a clever marketing ploy. While Idaho supplies almost a third of the United States’ potatoes, in 2012 the state’s Potato Commission commissioned the construction of a giant, hollow, fake tuber as the centerpiece of its 75th anniversary celebration. The 28-by-12-foot tater that was supposed to have a year-long tour ended up traveling the country for seven years, finally retiring in 2019. Upon the spud’s retirement, Kristie Wolfe knew that its best days were yet to come. A tiny home builder and Potato Commission employee who had accompanied the potato on its grand tour, Wolfe sensed its inner potential. Armed with the giant replica tuber, a 400-acre farm, home renovation skills, and the blessings of the Potato Commission, Wolfe transformed the castoff carb into a cozy getaway. Check it out on Airbnb.
WEIRDEST THINGS AMERICAN HAVE SAID TO NON-AMERICANS _ Non-Americans were asked to share the weirdest things Americans have said to them.
• How long did you take you learn to use metric instead of normal measurements?
• When an American asked me what it’s like to have an accent. They thought that they had no accent and their voice was ‘default’.
• As a Brit, I had to bite my tongue when asked, “Do you celebrate Independence Day?”
• I was on a student exchange between my German school and a school in San Francisco. When the Americans came to visit us, we had a welcome party for them at a friend’s place. That friend had a dog, and at some point he gave the dog a command in German. The dog obeyed, and one of the American kids asks how we managed to teach German to the dog.
• I live in the southern hemisphere. While messaging an American in December, I mentioned it was summer for me. She kept asking which month I was in.
• An Austrian friend and I were told about about this magical thing they have in America called fireworks and how we should go see it at least once in our lives.
