Happy birthday Bucky.
I have been a big fan for a long time. I keep feeling that had we followed more of his lead we would be in a better place.
Sometimes it's good to colour outside the lines

A few years ago when I was in Boston I stopped in a beautiful cemetary.
I visted Bucky there.
His stone was very small by the way and he was buried next to other Fullers on a hill.

Funny, I was waiting for Bucky's birthday to post a toast to him myself. He has always been my favorite architect of all time. No higher education, flat broke at 32 and contemplating suicide then bam... the lights went on and Bucky set out to change the world.
The simplicity of his designs was mind boggling. He developed the aerodynamics of his car by studying the shape a water droplet conformed to as it was molded by the air while falling. The geodesic was a study in soap bubbles.
Cancers in general seem to have a bit more creativity than the average Joe but Buckminster Fuller took it to the highest level. Happy birthday Bucky!

Don't you find that some of the finest design ideas emulate nature in some form?
A testiment to the higher designer! He who designed it all.

I heard that! Any designer that doesn't have the ratio of .61804 programed into their scientific calculator is missing something pretty significant. <G>Kevin Halliburton

I knew a big, black Lab named Bucky, once. Best darned frog-catcher I ever met!
The other Bucky's not bad either
