Hello, a top sports day where Wimbledon lost out, enjoyed plenty of great Federer the week before and to win the tournement for a record 8th time without dropping a set 3 weeks before his 36th birthday is amazing. The F1 race was a predictable win of Hamilton, he should send a thank you to Verstappen who frustrated Vettel, something experienced by Hammy too, it's just damn hard to pass the Dutchman even with a superior car. Vettel gave up and did the undercut that put him in front but too soon as at in the end he had shredded his tire in the last lap dropping back to 7th, had he waited 2 more laps for the undercut he might have come in 2nd as his team mate Raikonen was forced to get a new set of tires in the penultimate lap with the same shredded tire problem, a safety first decision by Red Bull cost Verstappen a podium as he too came in for new tires Raikonen got his podium back after Vettel limped home, Bottas got his 2nd place for free after the disaster that befell the Ferraris.
Winner of the day was The Tour De France with it's most exiting stage thusfar with Froome needing all his teammates to get back to his competitors, way in front 28 riders were down to 13 at the top of the last big climb with 30 k to go but with some serious climbing left, one man went, Bauke Mollema being chased by 12 and later 4 but they were unable to catch him, almost biblical, a great win for Mollema! And after all that exitement Game Of Thrones Season 7 starts tonight...
Today's artist was an American author and screenwriter. He worked in a variety of genres, including fantasy, science fiction, horror and mystery fiction. Widely known for his dystopian novel Fahrenheit 451 (1953), and his science fiction and horror story collections The Martian Chronicles (1950), The Illustrated Man (1951), and I Sing the Body Electric (1969), our man was one of the most celebrated 20th- and 21st-century American writers. While most of his best known work is in speculative fiction, he also wrote in other genres, such as the coming-of-age novel Dandelion Wine (1957) or the fictionalized memoir Green Shadows, White Whale (1992).
Recipient of numerous awards, including a 2007 Pulitzer Citation, Bradbury also wrote and consulted on screenplays and television scripts, many of his works were adapted to comic book, television and film formats. On his death in 2012, The New York Times called Bradbury "the writer most responsible for bringing modern science fiction into the literary mainstream.... N'joy.

The Ray Bradbury Theater is an anthology series that ran for two seasons on HBO, three episodes per season from 1985 to 1986, and four additional seasons on USA Network from 1988 to 1992. It was later shown in reruns on the Sci Fi Channel. All 65 episodes were written by Ray Bradbury and many were based on short stories or novels he had written, including "A Sound of Thunder", "Marionettes, Inc.", "Banshee", "The Playground", "Mars is Heaven", "Usher II", "The Jar", "The Long Rain", "The Veldt", "The Small Assassin", "The Pedestrian", "The Fruit at the Bottom of the Bowl", "Here There Be Tygers", "The Toynbee Convector", and "Sun and Shadow".
Many of the episodes focused on only one of Bradbury's original works. However, Bradbury occasionally included elements from his other works. "Marionettes, Inc." featured Fantoccini, a character from "I Sing the Body Electric!". "Gotcha!" included an opening sequence taken from "The Laurel and Hardy Love Affair". Characters were renamed, and elements added to the original works to expand the story to 23–28 minutes or to better suit the television medium.
Each episode would begin with a shot of Bradbury in his office, gazing over mementos of his life, which he states (in narrative) are used to spark ideas for stories. During the first season, Bradbury sometimes appeared on-screen in brief vignettes introducing the story. During the second season, Bradbury provided the opening narration with no specific embellishment concerning the episode. During the third season, a foreshortened version of the narration was used and Bradbury would add specific comments relevant to the episode presented. During the fourth and later seasons, a slightly shorter generic narration was used with no additional comments.
