Subject:  Happy 130th birthday, Fort Bragg (CA). After these messages.

/"Enough of the prologue, now on with the play! The Pageant of Bergen
County Women is underway!"/

The recording of last night's (2019-10-04) /Happy Birthday Fort Bragg/ Memo
of the Air: Good Night Radio show on KNYO-LP Fort Bragg and KMEC-LP Ukiah
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:

Thomas stopped in, his mind seemingly racing, to tell about his several new
websites and a fresh plan for ultimate riches and world domination. We'll
see what happens as he carries it out. Maybe the saying about absolute
power corrupting absolutely will turn out to be wrong in his case, and
wouldn’t that be nice. Al Nunez, jack of all trades, visited for a good
half an hour. You might know him from his writing in the MCN Announce email
listserv, chronicling personal triumphs and setbacks and hopes regarding
health and living conditions, fluctuating levels of equanimity and life
satisfaction, and lately progress on restoring his work truck. He's a
gentle, shy man who required a little prompting at first but soon began to
spill the beans, as they say, on various subjects mechanical and painterly
and welding-related in a pleasing comic New Jerseyish accent, though he was
born and raised not at all in New Jersey but in San Francisco. See, he ran
away from home at fifteen, and… he tells it fine; I'll let him tell it.
This show also features Scott M. Peterson’s new story /Mendocino Messiahs/.
Scott explains how to multiply good telecommuting jobs in our area like
loaves and fishes or, more realistically, like rabbits. The story also
relates some of the history of Jim Jones' mass-murder/suicide Jesus cult
that I somehow missed in reading on the subject all these years. For
example, the explanation of /exactly how/ Jones persuaded everyone to all
drink the poison at the same time. It wasn't just religious zeal. Well, it
was that, but it was also a clever awful trick, very like Lucy pulling away
the football but then finally not, where the football in my analogy is a
poison bomb. Details: Scott's story begins three hours and twenty minutes
in.

Besides all that, at http://MemoOfTheAir.wordpress.com you can find a fresh
batch of dozens of links to not necessarily radio-useful but nonetheless
worthwhile educational items I set aside for you while gathering the show
together. Such as:

In fact how it works:

I'm confident we can get to a yes on this.

And how we get speakers. It interests me how much is still done by hand, at
least in this particular factory. It reminds me of when I bought a couple
of electromechanical reverb-spring tanks to build into a mixing board in,
uh, 1985. They were the same kind that you see in very old tube-type guitar
amplifiers. On each one was a little sticker that said in tiny type, "This
equipment was assembled by beautiful women in controlled atmospheric
conditions."
