[Kzyxtalk] 12 Monkeys.

Subject: 12 Monkeys.

/"The good warrior must understand how ghostly it will be when all this 
world of wealth stands wasted, as now, in many places about this massive 
earth, walls stand battered by the wind, covered by frost, the roofs 
collapsed. The wine halls crumbled; the warriors lie dead, cut off from 
joy; the great troop all crumpled. Proud by the wall, one war took, led 
to his death. One a bird lifted over the high sea. One the hoary wolf 
broke with death. One, bloody-cheeked, a warrior hid in a hole in the 
ground. Likewise God destroyed this earthly dwelling, until the 
strongholds of the giants stood empty, without the sounds of joy of the 
city-dwellers. Then the wise man thinks about the wall, and deeply 
considers this dark life. From times far away the wanderer recalls the 
deadly slashes and says, What happened to the horse? What happened to 
the warrior? What happened to the gift-giver? What happened to the wine 
hall? Where are the sounds of joy?"/

The recording of last night's (2020-01-31) 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:

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

A clever way to explain wealth inequality to a slow shopping mall, 
though they use pumpkin pie, which is disgusting, and perhaps that's as 
pertinent a part of the point as the clearly failing mall itself. I 
especially like the old man who's engaged to the degree of autonomically 
helping distribute the invisible crumbs.

poignard and luminous bewitching uvula.
