Everything promised came to pass: Sherry Glaser came by with her 
Brooklynean entourage; they talked about animal rescue and animal 
habitats, and Sherry read from her book of techniques to master madness. 
Dennis O’Brien called to talk about his book on the subject of 
international cooperation in the development of opportunities in space. 
Zeke called to read his story and relate a little known fact of 
homelessness: the black market in broken cell phones. Kay Rudin came in 
with a poster for the Bob Ayres' Big Band event that’s at Eagles Hall 
tonight (Saturday night). Thomas arrived but vanished mysteriously. 
Flynn Washburne's tale of the Collateral Juvenile. Scott Peterson's /The 
Harder They Fall/, Mark Scaramella on the elusive grading ordinance, 
/Candy Matson, Girl Detective/, and more; a full eight-hour show. All 
the various gizmos worked as they should, and all’s right with the world 
except, even as I speak, two houses are on fire within a couple of 
blocks of the radio station, and when I stopped in Caspar to pick up 
some work at five a.m. some loon was yodeling lustily like an angry 
Tarzan in the shrubs across the street. It reminded me of when Juanita 
and I used to live in Caspar and George, who lived a little north and 
west of us, in back, who collected a labyrinth of dead Karmann Ghias 
around his shack, used to go out at night and scream incoherently and 
fire his gun in the air, and Michael would go over and yank the gun away 
from him and tell him to go to bed and shut up, and that same George 
ended up psychically intuiting a bad water pump in my then-Toyota and he 
generously forced a fifty on me to get it fixed. He tried to give me a 
hundred, but when I wouldn't take it he put a fifty in my hand, closed 
my hand around it, whirled around and strode away. I think that was 1994 
or thereabouts. You know what? I would like to see David Attenborough do 
this place as a special. Not Ken Burns; Sir David Attenborough.

IN OTHER NEWS, as usual at http://MemoOfTheAir.wordpress.com you'll find 
a fresh batch of links to educational activities and amusements, such as:

Some people from the shithole countries. My, that is a very red dress.

Why blue is so rare in creatures of color, notwithstanding the Blue 
Fugates, who I wouldn't really say are all that blue.

And when you feel like this, what are you doing? What activity in your 
life makes you feel like this ecstatic little architect?
