Here's the recording of last night's (Friday 2024-08-30) 8-hour Memo of 
the Air: Good Night Radio show on 107.7fm KNYO-LP Fort Bragg (CA) and 
KNYO.org (and, for the first hour, also 89.3fm KAKX Mendocino):

Coming shows can feature your story or dream or poem or essay or kvetch 
or announcement or whatever. Just email it to me. Or include it in a 
reply to this post. Or send me a link to your writing project and I'll 
take it from there and read it on the air. That's what I'm here for.

Besides all that, at https://MemoOfTheAir.wordpress.com you'll find a 
fresh batch of dozens of links to worthwhile items I set aside for you 
while gathering the show together, such as:

How science fiction movies have changed. I don't 100-percent agree with 
this, but it's a fair survey.

Further space babes. The one top-left looks very like Servalan. Not 
quite supercilious enough in the eyes; but I see it about the mouth, 
nose, chin, confidence, weapon, and close-cropped-hair-shaped helmet. I 
read that Servalan was only supposed to be in the first year (of Blake's 
7), but viewers demanded her, so they kept her on and made her a big 
part the whole rest of the four-year run of the series. She's coldly 
calculating evil itself in heels and a slit-sided sock dress.

Heat. When replacement eyes are common and affordable, you'll be able to 
voice-command or maybe even squint-command your eyes to do this and many 
other tricks, like cartoonize the world, put motion and smell lines 
around moving and smelly objects, show exclamation marks and sweat 
droplets shooting out of a funny angry person's head, highlight fire 
exits or the path to the restroom or to the nearest receptive person 
whose registered personality dovetails nicely with yours, etc. Before 
that, though, this feature will be part of regular glasses, then contact 
lenses. Soon.

Also it will do things like this, while you're eating dinner, or waiting 
on hold, or taking a bathroom break from work, if you want it to. Not 
while you're driving, of course, or Juanita is talking.

/When you are born to do something and you know it./ I know what this 
feels like. When I was a little boy I tried to plunge the toilet to make 
it flush right. I kept trying and it kept not working, and I didn't give 
up, because if at first you don't succeed, try, try again. I was wasting 
a lot of metered water. My grandmother, whose mother's maiden name was 
Paulsinski, but was changed to Paulsy when she (her mother) came to 
America in the late 1800s, came in, said, "Gimme that," took the plunger 
from me, said, "I'm gonna show you something you can use for the rest of 
your life. This is called the Paulsy plunge." She crouched over, pressed 
the flush lever, held the plunger shaft with both hands, set the rubber 
part firmly on the drain hole, and /jammed it down and up, down and up, 
down and up/, really putting her whole skinny little body into it, 
grunting with effort. She let the water level get up near the rim, 
pulled the plunger out, stood back up, and waved voila as the toilet 
swallowed. Now, several times in my life I have seen someone trying and 
failing to get results from a plunger. They are doing it wrong. It's 
like they're politely asking it to work for them, not laying down the 
law. I say, "Let me show you something. Gimme that."
