Cold wind spooky blood. One can still see the bat houses (to help with the blood-sucker problem) in that area of southern Georgia. They look like those watchtowers along the walls of Nazi concentration camps, though there were no Indigenes there to speak of as White Eyes began to colonize it. A bit further south, the Timucua were practicing cannibalism.Normally I would be really sad about a First Lady's passing.....but I've talked to a guy who worked in the White House when the Carters took over from Ford.....and he said that the Carter's were not very nice people. He was in White House communications....and was the same MOS that I was before I went SF.
I was monitoring the radio while at the JSOTF on the US Embassy in Mogadishu Somalia in 93'.
He said that "It was like a cold wind coming down the hall to the West Wing when Jimmy or Rosalyne was coming."
"You were to speak only when spoken too."
This was kind of a shock to me when I heard it, because I always believed the nice image that the media presented about Jimmy and the First Lady.
I think this comes from Jimmy being a Southern Peanut Farmer in Georgia.....when he grew up during the Depression....the people living in the big White House at the top of the hill were treated like VIPs everywhere in town. Everyone else in town was Middle-Class working folks or poor folks digging in the dirt or working the fields.
