[Kzyxtalk] Patriotic trephination.

Subject: Patriotic trephination.

Here's the recording of last night's (2022-07-01) Memo of the Air: Good 
Night Radio show on 107.7fm KNYO-LP Fort Bragg (CA):

Thanks to Hank Sims for all kinds of tech help over the years, as well 
as for his fine news site: https://LostCoastOutpost.com

Thanks go to the Anderson Valley Advertiser, which provided almost an 
hour of the above 8-hour show's most locally relevant material, as 
usual, without asking for anything in return. Just $25 a year for full 
access to all articles and features. While you're feeling generous, go 
to KNYO.org, click on the big red heart and give what you can.

Speaking of which, I'll be happy to see you personally at the /massive/ 
though covid-safe KNYO Fourth of July outdoor musical party at Caspar 
Community Center, just like last year, but it's on Monday this time. 
Monday noon-thirty to almost night-time. Swings, games, facepainting 
(probably), food, drink, seven great local bands, count 'em, no waiting, 
and a cow field of soft green grass for a dance floor. Meet all the 
deejays, including Long John, formerly of KFAT, who I only just met last 
night at the storefront. In addition to his traditional western radio 
voice he also looks a lot like Sam Elliot in /The Man Who Killed Hitler 
and Then the Bigfoot/, and has the same dignified manner of calm, 
reassuring competence.

BESIDES ALL THAT, 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 the 
show together. Such as:

Fascinating mud-and-twig construction of a working waterpark mansion 
sculpture. (via Everlasting Blort)

The theme from /Howl’s Moving Castle/ on theremin and glass harp.

“My country is the best. Best is the country I call my own.” It does 
seem nice in the demo.

And this is actually all the size that stores ever really need to be. 
They don’t need to be as big as a football stadium and take up half the 
town. /Try/ to tell me you don’t ache to go into these jam-packed 
candybox-like music stores and pick up and try one of the guitars in the 
window… Hmm... there used to be a pawn shop very like that in Ukiah, 
that I liked to go in whenever I was there for jury duty. It can’t still 
be there, can it? I have jury duty on the 6th, first time in many years. 
I’ll look, and report. Also there was a nice music store a few blocks 
south of the library... But what first comes to mind when I think of 
Ukiah is: one time, when I was on a print run, delivering my newspaper 
version of /Memo/, oh, thirty years ago, a jittery rail-thin woman 
sweating cartoon bullets in front of the Mendocino Environment Center 
tried to sell me drugs. She was hard to understand at first, but when I 
finally grasped her purpose I gestured at the courthouse across the 
street and said, "Did you know that's the hive of policemen, right 
there." She said, "So?"
