It's actually the %e that is adding a space behind it. If the day was 2 digits (e.g. May 17) it won't add a leading space. So smashing the strftime together won't work for all dates. PS. OS X behaves this way, on Linux there aren't any leading spaces. Just ran into this today. It’s actually the %e that is adding a space behind it.
