[Kzyxtalk] Love in the time of cholera.

/"In the future when sex robots are perfected, the only way to know 
whether your partner is human or a robot will be to show them a grid of 
pictures and ask them to check off which ones have a stoplight in them."/

The recording of last night's (2020-03-20) Memo of the Air: Good Night 
Radio show on KNYO-LP Fort Bragg and KMEC-LP Ukiah is right here:

Furthermore,  at https://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 while gathering the 
show together. Such as:

Until the end of March you can get the Korg Kaossilator musical 
composition toy as an app for your phone for free. I've tried it. The 
combination of low tap latency and automatic quantization lets you 
actually play and record music with it. Experiment, make beats and 
backgrounds for your barking swear poetry. Use it for a practice band to 
learn to improvise on clarinet.

Or do it the old-fashioned way, au naturel. The women's beatbox champion 
of the world teaches you to beatbox. (15 min.) In tough times, 
street-corner beatboxing can quickly get you fifteen cents for one 
meatball, and that is nothing to sneeze at.

Invisible-but-blacklight-fluorescent powder shows how we spread germs by 
pawing at everything and grabbing at each other's paws. This reminds me 
of third grade in Escondido in 1966 or ’67, when they gave us all 
bottles of red dye pills to take home to teach us to brush our teeth 
better. A fine idea, but they used too strong a dye. You could brush for 
/ages/ and not get it off, especially in between teeth and near the 
gums, and the effect of the first pill and the brushing and brushing and 
brushing was to make me go, /The hell with it, then,/ except that it 
tasted like candy, so there went the rest of them. Your tax dollars at work.

Speaking of which, look, 500 museums you can tour from your
