[Kzyxtalk] I'll take romance.

I'll take romance.

/"If you can’t tell what it is, it’s an armless mannequin with a wedding 
dress half on, breasts bared, with a nice Mexican woman posing her for me."/

The recording of last night's (2018-02-23) KNYO and KMEC Memo of the 
Air: Good Night Radio show is ready to download for free and enjoy at 
any time of the day or night, via http://MemoOfTheAir.wordpress.com

It's a pretty good, very long show. The whole eight hours, as they say. 
Alex calls about two-and-a-half hours in, having nearly been killed 
again by the capricious spirits directing the circumstances of his life 
for their own cruel amusement, with a story to tell about his latest 
ordeal, this time a shoulder broken in two places. It involves 
treacherous ice, a gentle Nordic giant shopkeeper, a video gambling 
machine, drugs, a comparison between California's and Arkansas' 
emergency rooms, medical expenses, attitudes, accents, a Big Fish, and 
also Linda Blair's head spinning around in circles, spewing pea soup, 
going /blaaarghh!/

Besides that, as usual also at http://MemoOfTheAir.wordpress.com you'll 
find a fresh batch of links to not necessarily radio-useful but 
nonetheless worthwhile items I set aside for you while putting the show 
together, things where just hearing it wouldn't be enough. Such as:

Dinosaur!

Animal behavior.

That’s entertainment.

And a simultaneous lunar eclipse and aurora video in as high quality as 
your computer can use, where you can grab the screen and shift your view 
as it plays. I sent the link to Juanita, in the kitchen, because she has 
a phone and I've seen her taking panorama pictures of things and then 
turning the phone to explore the picture, and I remember reading about 
Google Cardboard, so I thought it might work. Nearly instantly she 
shouted from the kitchen, "Marco! Come see this! Come here! /Here, sit 
on the chair! Hold this. Now spin around!/" Gasp! Though of course this 
tech is old news to a jaded sophisticate like you. /You've/ probably 
already been having sex with robots and changing channels on the teevee 
with your toothbrush for ages already.
