And yeah, southwest Detroit has definitely become a Hispanic town, no longer Irish.

I recently read The Halloween Tree for the first time, and I loved it. Then, deciding it was a good time to dive into my big shelf of unread Bradburys, I pulled out The Illustrated Man and tried to read that, but after several nights of falling asleep during the second chapter I realized the story was never going to ignite.
Bradbury's uneven quality was due to his work ethic, which is both a good thing and a bad thing. He believed that a writer's job is to write, and he many times expressed contempt for people who only write when they feel inspired. He would sit down at his desk every day without fail and write non-stop for at least two sessions of two hours each, regardless of whether he had any good ideas or not. Sometimes it hit, sometimes it missed, but because of his stature in the industry the publishers would put out anything he wrote whether it was any good or not.
If you're a big believer in a strong work ethic, Bradbury was an inspirational success story. If you're a big believer in quality art, he was a drudge. So many of his works read like a bunch of dictionaries thrown into a blender and their pureed contents spilled out onto a page. Even in his best works there are passages that you can tell were produced in his self-enforced work-regardless-of-inspiration sessions.

Speaking of temperature, burn any crosses lately?
