Jimmy Carter Day

So, Jimmy Carter has just turned a hundred years old -- something no other President has achieved. 

No one has ever done a better job of being Ex-President. An interesting legacy, and one that I doubt will be matched.

I met him at a book signing once (he was famous for his epic book-signing sessions), and I wonder if he might hold some king of record there as well. 

He's also the first person I voted for in a presidential election.

He didn't cure river blindness but he helped a lot of people over the years --from the roll-up-yr-sleeves and pitch in of Habitats for Humanity to election monitoring and off-the radar unofficial diplomacy. 
I hear they're planting a hundred trees in his honor. I wonder what kind, and where?
Well done, Mr. Carter.
