SocraticGadfly: R.I.P., Ann Richards

R.I.P., Ann Richards

The former Texas governor, and sober former alcoholic drinker, dead at 73.

Note my phraseology; I prefer labeling behaviors to people.

The obits say she died of esophageal cancer. It goes to show that chronic drinking, especially if combined with smoking, can get you long after you’ve quit.
