Subject: MOTA: Good Night Radio all night tonight on KNYO and KAKX!
Soft deadline to email your writing for tonight's (Friday night's) MOTA
show is 5:30 or so. If that's too soon, send it any time after that and
I'll read it next Friday.
Memo of the Air: Good Night Radio is every Friday, 9pm to 5am PST on
107.7fm KNYO-LP Fort Bragg and KNYO.org. The first three hours of the
show, meaning till midnight, are simulcast on KAKX 89.3fm Mendocino.
Plus you can always go to https://MemoOfTheAir.wordpress.com and hear
last week's MOTA show. By Saturday night I'll put up the recording of
tonight's show. You'll find plenty of other educational amusements there
to educate and amuse yourself with until showtime, or any time, such as:
These were wonderful pickup trucks. This truck weighed less than half
what a modern behemoth pickup truck weighs, got better gas mileage, fit
easily in an old house's garage, and it could carry just as much weight
(a full ton). Fun to drive. Great visibility. Way cheaper (even in
corrected dollars).

This is a whole regular keyboard and mouse arrranged for one hand. It
reminds me of a day back in the old Community School in the early 1980s,
when then-Chuck-now-Charles Bush was teaching a class or seminar on, um,
I don't even remember what. At one point people were throwing out ideas,
and I talked about how neat if would be to have a typing keyboard that
you could use with just one hand. I was endlessly annoying in those
days, very full of myself, and that was my third or fourth idea. Chuck
asked, What would be the point? I said, So people could do other things
at the same time, with the other hand. I was thinking of a truck driver
maybe writing a book while driving, but I didn't have time to say that
yet, when Chuck said, "What would people wanta do?" I made a jerking-off
motion in the air. Chuck pointed at my hand and said drily, "That's the
most interesting thing you've said all day." Zing.
