Subject: Abortion without apology.

Here's the recording of last night's (2022-05-06) 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

And thanks to the Anderson Valley Advertiser, which provided well over 
an hour of the above 8-hour show's most locally relevant material, as 
usual, without asking for anything in return. Though I do pay $25 
annually for full access to all articles and features, and you can too. 
As well as go to KNYO.org, click on the big red heart and give what you 
can. Also email me your work on any subject and I'll read it on the 
radio this coming Friday night.

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:

Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head and some other toys. I had one of those doctor 
kits when I was little. The stethoscope didn’t work, and the edible 
pills were gone in fifteen seconds and had no effect on me. I had a 
Captain Mike space helmet with a flat kazoo built into the front, so 
everything you said sounded like an astronaut; I wore that thing 
completely out. Long after the kazoo stopped working I was running 
around shouting space orders in that helmet; I loved it. And, look, give 
a show of hands of people hit in the face or the ear with a Water 
Wiggle. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. But they didn’t recall the product after 17 
years of 2.5 million sold (!) for knocking kids’ teeth out or strangling 
them or popping their eardrum by boxing their ear; they recalled them 
because a single child was drowned by pulling the rubber head off it and 
jamming the hooked nozzle to get stuck down his own throat. Way to ruin 
it for everybody, Jimmy. And don’t get me started about Jarts. I never 
had Jarts, but wherever we lived where any kid on the block had a bow 
and real arrows, which was everywhere, we always ended up shooting them 
straight up in the air and then playing chicken about who would run 
under the eaves of the house first. There were a lot more little kids 
then than there are now, and after school and on weekends and all summer 
we ran around and rode bikes all over in unsupervised wild packs left to 
our own devices and inventive and cruel and fantastic imaginations. It 
was /Lord of the Flies/ out there.

Spiral stairs being made. 3D printers of the future will spit these 
things out like robot cake icing blorps. And then just a little farther 
in the future you won’t need stairs. You’ll be vaporized and scanned, 
then a perfect copy of you will be 3D-printed on the next floor up, like 
in Star Trek. Every teleport is suicide. A copy of you goes on, but 
you're dead.

And Route 66. Cut the jive on Route 65. Shut the door on Route 64. Slap 
your knee on Route 63. Toodle-oo on Route 62. Have your fun on Route 61. 
Now you try. No? Okay: Manic pixie on Route 60. Quit yer cryin' on Route 
59. Stand and wait on Route 58. Crank it up to eleven on Route 57...
