[Kzyxtalk] The pain of space.

Subject: The pain of space.

/"She turned her back to him again. Luci could never bear to watch him 
Under-the-wire. She tossed the wiresphere into the air. It caught in the 
force field, and hung there. Suddenly it glowed. That was all. All, 
except for the sudden red stinking roar of coming back to his senses. 
Coming back, across the wild threshold of pain."/

Marco here. Here's the recording of Friday night's (9pm PST, 2025-12-26) 
almost eight-hour-long Memo of the Air: Good Night Radio show on 
KNYO.org, on 107.7fm KNYO-LP Fort Bragg (CA) and also, for the first 
three hours, on 89.3fm KAKX Mendocino, ready for you to re-enjoy in 
whole or in part:

Coming shows can feature your own story or dream or poem or essay or 
kvetch or announcement. Just email it to me. 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 not-necessarily radio-useful but 
worthwhile items I set aside for you while gathering the show together, 
such as:

Video of the time Hunter Thompson made the mistake of putting his old 
Xmas tree in the fireplace. It doesn't matter how cold you are, don't do 
it. Burn almost anything else. An Xmas tree in the fireplace is a 
firebomb. It's a cordless caveman plasma cannon.

Barry Petchesky's annual article, /What Did We Get Stuck In Our Rectums 
Last Year?/ The usual items, of course, including a Nick Fury action 
figure. A light bulb, a Christmas ornament. A broken-off plastic 
coat-hanger. Pop and shampoo bottles. Not phones, though, so much, 
anymore, they've gotten too wide. Here:

"What you see is a myosin protein dragging an endorphin along a filament 
to the inner part of the brain's parietal cortex which creates 
happiness. You're looking at happiness."

And I don't believe in Jesus, but I sure do like his songs. And Alison 
Krauss' nose.
