RIP - Ray Bradbury (

Story [here]


Damnit!  They're all gone now.  Heinlein, Asimov, Clarke, Bradbury.  The Grand Masters of Science Fiction that first captured my imagination and led me to become so enamored of that genre decades ago.  This is one of those moments in life when I can feel a chapter of my life is completely and forever ended.  Although perhaps in a barely preceptible way in the grand scheme of things and with everything else going on in life…it's just not the same world now that it was before.

RIP Ray, Isaac, Robert, and Arthur

Of course, for the time being we still have Harlan.  Fantastically nasty, angry, grouchy, spiteful and brilliant little spinning ball of wit and obscenities that he is.
