Let's make this birthday one to remember.

85 years old (Born on October 13, 1939)

Happy Birthday, Lee Leffingwell! You've navigated Austin politics with the grace of someone who knows exactly how to handle traffic jams—patiently and always smiling. Your time as Mayor brought us memorable moments like championing sustainability initiatives and keeping Austin weird enough for everyone.

From city council chambers to mayoral duties, you've proven that leadership can indeed come packaged in humor and humility. May your birthday be filled with fewer meetings than usual—and more barbecue ribs!

Here's wishing you another year full of laughter, success, good health—and absolutely no potholes on life's journey ahead. Cheers to you!
