Molly Ivins…

I’ve been watching all the posts come in — she’s had such an impact on so many of us… what to say…

The STrib article noted that the Mpls. Police Dept. named their mascot pig after her. Yeah, that’s a legacy…

And for me, it’s leaving time

 I have a grandly dramatic vision of myself stalking through the canyons of the Big Apple in the rain and cold, dreaming about driving with the soft night air of East Texas rushing on my face while Willie Nelson sings softly on the radio, or about blasting through the Panhandle under a fierce sun and pale blue sky….I’ll remember, I’ll remember…sunsets, rivers, hills, plains, the Gulf, woods, a thousand beers in a thousand joints, and sunshine and laughter. And people. Mostly I’ll remember people.
