Today is my 72nd birthday, and celebrations called “Carnival Dave!” are breaking out around the world. Thanks everyone and I thought you should get a look at some of the wacko B-Day Cards I’ve received. The above card, from the New Mexico State University Library is, of course, not wacko but sweet. The others, well, your call. All in all, though, a very happy Birthdave!
- From my brother Rick, an innocent beginning…
- …and a dirty end.
- From close friend Harald Zoschke in Bardolino, Italy. Inside the card reads: “Doggone it, there goes another one.”
- From Wayne Scheiner, my long-time best friend of 40 years. Thanks, buddy.

This card is from my wife, Mary Jane. Inside it reads, “Ride on, dude!”
