Feed the right wolf.


"When there’s nothing, you can do everything." -Shimon Peres


The recording of last night's (2016-09-30) 107.7fm KNYO (and 105.1 KMEC) 
Memo of the Air: Good Night Radio show is available to download and 
listen to via http://MemoOfTheAir.wordpress.com


Or you can hear and/or download it this other way now, thanks to Hank 
Sims (an advantage here is the play button; you can just play it right 
away without waiting):

When I do the show from Juanita's house, a small apartment with no 
sound-enclosed area, she usually listens to her own music with earbuds 
and works on her project, but when she was getting ready for bed last 
night she heard a part of the show where I was talking briefly about 
something particularly horrible to her, and it stuck in her mind and 
upset her. She went to sleep and had a bad dream and woke up crying. I 
put on Boston Blackie early, read the title story and signed off. I'll 
have to figure out some way to solve this so I can both do what I need 
to do about the show and not make her unhappy. Maybe do the show from an 
all-night coffee shop up the street. I thought of that awhile ago; it 
may be time to try it. Or... do it in the bathroom? No. But why not? 
There’s plenty of light. There’s a counter. There’s a chair.


I'll be in Fort Bragg for the First Friday show next week, so there's 
two weeks to come up with a plan. Which means I'll wait till the last 
possible instant and then spring into calamitous action, and I hope 
you'll be attending then to appreciate the very midst of what promises 
to be a thrilling train de-and-re-railment. And of course, before that, 
you can show up in person on First Friday at the KNYO storefront and 
participate, if you like. Maybe offer a suggestion or two; you're as 
smart as I am, and probably /emotionally/ smarter.


Also at http://MemoOfTheAir.wordpress.com you'll find literally 
thousands of links to not necessarily radio-useful but worthwhile things 
to see and do and learn about, such as:


Trusssssst in me.

Coral’s alluring undulations.

And a video about shivery/creepy recorded sounds of war. My ears really 
perked up when it came to the propeller-driven terror whistles attached 
to German dive-bombers, because they used that same sound, in the 
Stargate: Atlantis series, for Wraith darts, and I didn’t know that 
until now. I heard it and went, /That’s a Wraith dart./
