Happy Birthday, Don Carpenter! From crafting gritty scenes in "Hard Rain Falling" to redefining storytelling, your words have brilliantly captured life's stormiest moods. Honestly, we've all checked the weather forecast twice since reading your masterpiece!

Here's wishing a screenwriter whose dialogues hit harder than Portland rainstorms another exceptional year filled with creativity, wit, and endless inspiration. May every upcoming project meet great fortune—without needing an umbrella! Keep those unforgettable characters coming; after all these years, readers still haven’t stopped checking for hidden safes behind motel paintings. Cheers to you today—stay legendary and keep making it rain on screen!
