*Ø* Bucky's birthday

With the Esmeralda problems yesterday, I didn't get much of a chance to note the near-centenary of one of the great avatars of the 20th century.

Happy 99th birthday to the late, great, R Buckminster Fuller. There's some stuff about him in the July 12 page at the Book of Days. Not enough, but I hope that for his centenary next July I'll find time to write some more. Anyway, there are some good linx there.

The Pacific island nation of Palau had a Bucky stamp a few years ago, and it's great to see the land of his birth do the same this year. The US Postal Service launched a stamp on July 12.
