Chris, speaking of KZYX, I'd like to know, how did last week's secret 
federal CPB audit of the corrupt management of KZYX turn out? There's 
nothing about it on the station's website. The 5-minutes-per-day 
newsperson hasn't uttered a peep. I think that's important news that 
should be gone into in depth on the air with all parties present and the 
phones live. Suggest it from the Rooseveltian bully pulpit of 5th 
District supervisor candidacy while you can. Also suggest that the 
so-called manager of KZYX pay the dozens of airpeople for the work they 
do that's really responsible for the hundreds of thousands of dollars a 
year that the frauds in the office squirrel away for themselves and suck 
entirely out of the station, while all the transmitters and STLs and 
studio equipment and microphones and lights and computers all running at 
the same time, whether the content is relevant or not, costs no more 
than a dollar an hour for electricity, and the Corporation for Public 
Broadcasting grant always pays for all the syndicated shows several 
times over, so it's not as if a properly-run KZYX would have to be 
strapped for cash and poormouthing it all the time. In the real world, a 
real manager of a real radio station can easily pay the airpeople before 
he pays himself.

In other news: This amazing time-lapse view from the Rosetta mission 
lander of the surface of Comet 67P Churyumov-Gerasimenko over 25 
minutes, sped up to be one second long and loop. It reminds me of the 
feeling of the /Borderland/ episode of the original /Outer Limits/ 
teevee show. I was four years old, watching that in 1963; it's a strong 
memory. A weird black-and-white other world but just as real as this 
one, and right there and so interesting.

And another of my favorites episodes of /Outer Limits/-- one of several 
comical ones: /Controlled Experiment/ (50 min.):
