"I have sometimes amused myself by endeavoring to fancy what would be
the fate of any individual gifted, or rather accursed, with an intellect
very far superior to that of his race. Of course, he would be conscious
of his superiority; nor could he (if otherwise constituted as man is)
help manifesting his consciousness. Thus he would make himself enemies
at all points. And since his opinions and speculations would widely
differ from those of all mankind, that he would be considered a madman,
is evident. That individuals have so soared above the plane of their
race, is scarcely to be questioned; but, in looking back through history
for traces of their existence, we should pass over all biographies of
‘the good and the great,’ while we search carefully the slight records
of wretches who died in prison, in Bedlam, or upon the gallows." -Edgar
Allan Poe
The recording of last night's (2018-06-15) KNYO Fort Bragg and KMEC
Ukiah /Memo of the Air: Good Night Radio/ show is available by one or
two clicks, depending on whether you want to listen to it now or
download it and keep it for later and, speaking of which, it's right here:

And besides that, here are links to a few not necessarily radio-useful
but worthwhile items that I set aside for you at

such as:
Liquid calligraphy.

And what the world looked like N-million years ago, and where a given
address would be. Change the year and location; see for yourself. Those
times and that world were just as real as where you are now. And the
world of millions of years forward will be just as real, without even
any particle of a memory of you and everything that's so important and
serious and personal and all your delights, fears, accomplishments,
political notions, secret shame, socks, hair, and the peeved way you
twist the corner of your mouth when that annoying song starts or you
remember a rude thing. Peevement wrinkles. Whole mountain ranges. Whole
geological eras as ephemeral and inconsequential as a sneeze.
