[Kzyxtalk] See Hy-Brasil on $5 a day.

Subject: See Hy-Brasil on $5 a day.

/"Angels wrestle over control of their own shining hands, each crying 
out to the other, Stop hitting yourself. I'm not. Yes you are. Stop it! 
Shut up. You shut up. God gets back from business and says, Is there a 
problem here? No, sir. That's good, because I have a job for you. I have 
a bet going with The Other Guy. I want you to go down there and blight 
someone, almost enough but not quite. You think you can do that? Oh, 
yes, sir. Get going, then."/

Here's the recording of last night's (2023-03-17) Memo of the Air: Good 
Night Radio show on 107.7fm KNYO-LP Fort Bragg (CA) and KNYO.org:

Email /your/ written work and I'll read it on the very next Memo of the 
Air on KNYO.

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:

About 3-D comic books. (via Fark) You can get two-color 3D glasses and 
enjoy all sorts of things like this; for example, the League Of 
Extraordinary Gentlemen graphic novels that sometimes flew into 
two-color 3D, like in the acid-in-the-park scenes, and the characters' 
journey through The Blazing World (Alan Moore's concept of Hy-Brasil). 
You can even make your own with cellophane and colored felt pens.

Imagine one of these with electric assist in it, tearing along at 50 mph 
on an elevated lane through rainforest canopy. That's the future we gave 
up but could have now. Any company making these beauties would rule the 
bicycle world. And then, a few years later, like the innovative toy 
drone we saw last year, but life-size, you'd press a button, the wheels 
would split down the middle, flap up into rotors to the sides and you'd 
zizzz up into the sky for real, easily possible with ever-better 
batteries and motors. Just /try/ to tear your eyes away from the 
aqua-turquoise one. In the early 1980s I had a '63 Rambler Classic that 
I had bought whole for something between $50 and $200, that I gave Earl 
Scheib on Arden Way the extra $20 to paint it that best of all colors 
for a vehicle, the color of a glorious future. Rockets and robots and 
swimming pool tiles and front doors and doughnut glazing and shiny-toe 
tap-shoes, reading glass frames, ceramic teeth, aerodynamic washing 
machines and toasters. What a color! When I win the lottery, tch, a 
plug-in hybrid Fiat 500 that color inside and out.

And a lovely little record player to go with it. People spent $1.2 
billion on records last year. You still have all your old records. 
That's not going out of style. I've been following the price of these 
particular boxes for awhile now. It can go as high as $85 to as low as 
$45 in a week and then go back up again. It's plastic, mostly, and 
probably not built to last, but it's got Bluetooth, so you can connect 
it directly to the speakers inside your Bluetooth-ready electric 
toothbrush. You've been wondering why your toothbrush has Bluetooth, well...
