[Kzyxtalk] The brave little toaster.

Subject: The brave little toaster.

/"Dear boys, bad timing. This morning I received the details of your 
travel plans in a document sent to me from a man named Brendan. 
Unfortunately I cannot receive you now. A neighboring village requires 
our urgent assistance due to an emergency, not to mention the recent 
arrival of a man-eating tiger in the region. I suggest you come in the 
spring, when you'll be safe with me. You must know how sad I am to 
experience this long separation. I hope you will eventually understand, 
and forgive me. God bless you and keep you, with Mary's benevolent 
guidance, in the light of Christ's enduring grace. All my love, Your 
Mother, Sister Patricia Whitman."/

Here's the recording of last night's (Friday 2024-01-19) 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):

I'd like to read your writing on the radio. Just email it to me. Or send 
me a link to your writing project and I'll take it from there. But if 
people in your story swear in evangelical tongues like a charismatic 
carnie I have to wait till after 10pm local time to read it, to protect 
other people's children from getting their mouths washed out with soap. 
That is literally the FCC's rationale for the Safe Harbor Rule.

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:

That time Winston Churchill popped out of his own pants in the pool.

"Come kick it with the robot man."

And a full documentary about the band Kansas. It's a pretty good story 
of a very good band who came out of nearly literally nowhere.
