So, I surely did mean to write yesterday, Jimmy Carter's 86th birthday. It was the 1st of October, and had I not gotten all involved in revising a manuscript about stubborn Mary Walker, I would have written if only to note that poor old lost & wild Bonnie Parker might have had 100 candles on her birthday cake last night, in some ratty old folks home in Texas, had she not taken up with bad company... had she not been born into such a mean, dusty world.
