	Never really understood the adulation Fuller got. More oddball than really inventive. __________________ Whiskey, women -- and astrophysics. Because sometimes a problem can't be solved with just whiskey and women.

	For some reason, I thought that Fuller invented/ddesigned the Geodesic dome……. Which I was partial to….. but Now finding out that he didn't, I have to agree with you __________________ “ When people get what they want, they are often surprised when they get what they deserve " - James Wood
