[Kzyxtalk] Hard reset.

Subject: Hard reset.

/"The Tree of Liberty must be refreshed from time to time with more 
blood for the Blood God. Preferably astronaut blood, because of all the 
zero-G and low-air-pressure training. It's really rich, like pudding. 
Peruvian and Himalayan blood are also favorites, though anybody's blood, 
really, is acceptable. He is, after all, the Blood God."/

The recording of last night's (2021-03-12) Memo of the Air: Good Night 
Radio show on KNYO-LP Fort Bragg is right here:

A lot of dead people this show. Nearly the whole first hour. There's a 
lot there, but the part that mainly sticks in my mind was learning that 
Lenny Laks, who just died Tuesday, had been the one first to come upon 
his long-time music-mate John Chamberlain dead on the highway in 2013 
and then four months later he was also the one who found other long-time 
music-mate Antonia Lamb dead. I repeat what one of Lenny's eulogists 
said about that: "Jesus! Poor Lenny!"

Also, at https://MemoOfTheAir.wordpress.com there's a fresh batch of 
not-necessarily-radio-useful but worthwhile items that I set aside for 
you while gathering the show together, such as

A sweeping bird's eye view of a place with everything: bar/restaurant, 
bowling alley, theater. Add a radio station and you're looking at my 
fantasy of what to build with a lottery payout, except the bar would be 
a soda and ice-cream bar. And the place would have a bathroom. You have 
to have a bathroom in a bowling alley or a rollerskating rink, for kids 
to smoke cigarets and for people to comb their hair with water from the 
sink. This kind of shot was impossible just a short while ago. Toy drone 
tech has literally leaped and soared in very recent years.

The ghost bird. It has a dignified air and every right to think it's 
invisible; it very nearly is. Its egg, though. I hope the people left 
that alone. Oh! It only just occurred to me: was it straining to lay 
that egg the whole time, nose in the air, motionlessly squinching and 
pushing? Was it surreptitiously, silently laying an egg as big as its 
whole body? Or is it somebody else's egg.

And stunningly beautifully edited weather.

p.s. Email me your written work and I'll read it on the radio on the 
very next MOTA. That's what I'm here for.
