The last line reads:
"And, for a long while, the only days we ever went out to walk were the days when it was raining and there was no sun."

Now that's from Ray's giant book, 'The Stories of Ray Bradbury'. Perhaps it has been changed from the original. But the story title was' The Rocket Man', ultimately set to music by Elton John.

"The Rocket Man" appears in "R Is For Rocket" too.

hello I need help to understand the following sentence from the Pedestrian:

"The car hesitated, or rather gave a faint, whirring click, as if information, somewhere was dropping car by punch-slotted card under electric eyes."
I dont understand it from "..as if informatoin..." till the end. How can you say this in a different way ?:S
