Subject: In like a lion, out like a Chinese philosopher.
The recording of last night's (2021-03-26) Memo of the Air: Good Night
Radio show on KNYO-LP Fort Bragg is right here:

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:
It sounds ridiculous that the government is preparing to, essentially,
buy rich people’s sea-level-rise-threatened luxury property to save them
from maybe not being quite so rich anymore, but… No, it is ridiculous.
Even with the explanation of the rationale. They’re rich; they can go
anywhere they want. It’s not like they can’t see the water coming up.
Look, water, coming up.

A poem about plastic.

And there's a part in Deep Space Nine where a tough battle-scarred
Klingon military general is standing in the hallway waiting for his wife
to emerge from her spaceship. They haven't seen each other for months.
She comes out, just slags him with insults, out of nowhere: what an
insect he is, and so on, while he quails. She turns her nose up and
saunters away down the hall, and the general says to Sisko, "Isn't. She.
Magnificent!" I didn't really think so. What do you suppose he'd say
about this woman? He used up magnificent on that sweet little slip of a
thing. The devaluation of language.

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.
