Ok a day late but
HAPPY 91ST BIRTHDAY RAY BRADBURY (yesterday August 22nd)
Wow 91 years.
Here is a link to his bio
I particularly like the last paragraph from an interview on his 80th b-day
about rushing to the typewriter
he has truly given my life a gift

Ah, I love him. Someone gave me "The Martian Chronicles" for my twelfth birthday and I went ahead and read every book he'd ever written. Wonderous stuff.
