[Kzyxtalk] I never do anything twice.

/"Always put your best workers on the corners."/

The recording of last night's (2021-11-12) Memo of the Air: Good Night 
Radio show on KNYO-LP Fort Bragg (CA) is right here:

Email me your writing on any subject and I'll read it on the radio next 
week. That's what I'm here for. If it's more than plain text, please 
provide a link to the media you want me to see or hear, rather than 
attach it.

Max Forsetter called about half an hour into the show and talked about 
and presented some of the music and stories from his musical and storied 
career, interspersed with my inappropriate and clueless interview style, 
not from my being out of practice but because I'm just not trying much 
anymore to be at the top of my or anyone's game; I'm rather resting on 
my laurels and, let's be honest here, it's a thin bed. Max is great, 
though, and the rest of the show is, ehhh, pretty good, and pretty good 
all night long, as usual, so kaplah (say kuh-PLAH). Oh, right, also at 
1am (four hours into the show) there's the half-hour Part 1 of Scott M. 
Peterson's mathematical dissertation on the subject of art prices in 
Mendocino over the years, figuring in the Chinese knockoff factor, 
which, did you know about that? Because /I/ didn't. And the latest in 
the Craig L. Stehr saga. He's housed, in a real house with a real couch, 
and once again exuberantly typing in capital letters, which I express on 
the radio by shouting, so you get the full benefit of the treatment.

FURTHERMORE, at https://MemoOfTheAir.wordpress.com you'll find a fresh 
batch of dozens of links to not necessarily radio-useful but nonetheless 
worthwhile items I set aside for you while gathering that show together. 
Such as, for instance:

"Just because an expert tells you something is hyperspectral video of an 
alien mothership dropping off cargo, it does not mean that's probably 
what it is." Four minutes of dry, competent debunkment, and well worth it.

They can't all be right, they can all be wrong, which throws a wrench 
into Pascal's wager. He was pretty smart about numbers but the human 
heart is a pretzel of desire and mystical mumbo-jumbo, and there you 
jolly well are, aren't you. (To paraphrase Lord Buckley.)

One photo of Canadian women’s hockey teams from a hundred years ago is 
not shown here. Their sweater logo was the American Indian swastika. I 
used that photo for a cover of my newspaper in the very early 1990s and 
it caused a kerfuffle (say kur-FUH-fuhl). Example: In the post office I 
was shrieked at by a survivor of /the/ Holocaust, his nose to my chin 
and his index finger poking my chest, “Thehw is PAIN HEAH, MAHCO! PAIN!” 
(The accent of Barry Kripke in /The Big Bang Theory/.)

And the reason why you always put your best workers on the corners.
