Just from reading the quotes from this article attributed to him,makes me want to go out and buy his autobiography and read it. Sounds like a very interesting man...as well as a great writer.

I can't understand why it took so long for this to appear here.

Bradbury died June 5th. Today is June 28th.

Am I out of line here? Just wondering if anyone noticed that Japan attacked Pearl Harbor too!

I know. I found it by accident...when one of my friends liked it on facebook. Otherwise, I wouldn't have seen it at all. Not sure how I missed it either...I read news articles every morning. Must not have been posted very well on the news sites or something.
