March 12, 2025 at 6:23 pmRay Bradbury is endlessly quotable. I’ve read The Martian Chronicles and Fahrenheit 451 but I’ve also quoted him on many occasions. A wise man. (K)
“It’s not going to do any good to land on Mars if you’re stupid” (that one’s for you, Elon)

March 12, 2025 at 8:27 pmYou’re right, Bradbury has so much to quote. I don’t dream of going to Mars so I will read about it in the news! 🙂
