Happy Birthday, Ray Bradbury

What's your favorite Bradbury story or stories? I love Something Wicked This Way Comes, but not as much as I love I Sing The Body Electric. (The TV adaptation. The Electric Grandmother, starring Maureen Stapleton [with Paul Benedict as Mr. Fantoccini] had me calling my grandmother from Cincinnati where I lived at the time, bawling about how much I loved her and missed her. Just bawling.) And there's very little that can overcome the chills delilvered by There Will Come Soft Rains and The October Game.
