Subject: Schrödinger's douchebag.

Here's the recording of last night's (Friday, 2024-10-18) 7.5-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.

Besides all that, at https://MemoOfTheAir.wordpress.com you'll find a 
fresh batch of dozens of links to not-necessarily radio-useful but 
worthwhile items I set aside for you while gathering the show together, 
such as:

"Overnight to Hawaii and beyond. Air travel of tomorrow, today. The Pan 
Am Clipper, pinnacle of comfort, speed, and safety in flight." You know 
how architects sometimes make a structure strange and beautiful because 
the materials and techniques finally exist to make it possible. Well, 
once we have light cheap airplane materials and powerful efficient 
electric motors and long-lasting batteries and practically free power, 
why not make airplanes like this again, that are a joy to look at and 
ride in and just fly around and live in them, and steal and smuggle 
things, like Serenity in /Firefly/, but real. (50 min.)

Boys perform a heart transplant on a live rabbit (or cleverly pretend 
to), take top honors at 1958 Terre Haute Schulte High School science 
fair. Second prize was for Tesla-coil-powered atomic transmutation. 
Honorable mention was a pushbutton motorized map of all the earthquake 
faults in Southern California. Science fairs now? Lemon battery, 
3D-printed virus, pea plants… What happened to us?

Art for Indigenous Resistance Day (second Monday in October). It's 
traditional on this day to shower, put on black slacks, best brogues, 
white shirt and a blood-red cardigan, and march down the center of the 
street singing Italian barbershop standards, but it's /polite and 
culturally apologetic/ to go alone to the Indian casino that is the 
central industry in your town anymore, like in /Back To The Future 2/, 
drink yourself shitfaced, lose the rent money, one zori and your car 
keys, and fall asleep on the curb in the parking lot.

And the mayor explains (with video). I show this because Fort Bragg, 
California, home of KNYO, is about to change its name away from 
slave-owning traitor to the Union, Confederate General Braxton Bragg. 
But it won't be Salami Town. It will be either The Palms or Lindy 
Petersville. I'm thinking, Lindy Petersville because, ask anybody who 
they think of first when you say Mister Fort Bragg. It's Lindy Peters 
every time.
