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.
