Farewell Jimmy

I'm still feeling rather sick and NyQuil-addled, so I'm not up for writing a lengthy post, but I had to acknowledge the passing today of President Jimmy Carter, one of my most revered public figures.

President Carter held on for a good while in hospice care, made it through being able to vote for Kamala Harris, as he said was his goal, until today finally following his wife of 77 years into the unknown (Rosalynn died last year).

Rather than try to articulate anything here today, I will simply refer you to a piece I wrote after President Carter went into hospice care a couple of years ago.

Godspeeed, James Earl Carter Jr.  You were among the very best of us.
