[Kzyxtalk] The gnurrs come from the voodvork out.

Subject: The gnurrs come from the voodvork out.

/Hanson raced up with sirens screaming. He left his escort of MPs and 
ran across the platform. Pale and panting, he reached the President and, 
though he tried to whisper, his voice was loud enough to catch the 
General's ear. The-- the gnurrs!" he choked, "They're in Los Angeles!"/

Marco here. Here's the recording of last night's (9pm PDT, 2025-07-04) 
8-hour-long Memo of the Air: Good Night Radio show on 107.7fm KNYO-LP 
Fort Bragg (CA) and also, for the first three hours, on 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.

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:

Born Free America.

Strictly speaking, you're not supposed to do this, make clothes out of 
flags. One time when I was in fifth grade, um, 1969, when we lived in 
Carmichael, my step-brother Craig and I rode our bikes to the 
Metropolitan Army Nayy surplus store to browse around in its vast dim 
labyrinthine interior of fun stuff. Gas masks, bayonets, walkie-talkies 
the size of a shoebox, weird tools, nuts, bolts and wheel bearings, 
khaki coats, skis and ski boots (!), just everything. I found a 
folded-up giant canvas U.S. flag for 50 cents, lugged it home on the 
handlebars, and got out the Simplicity patterns to think about making an 
overalls suit out of it to wear to school. My mother said no. I said, It 
was just fifty cents; it was my fifty cents. She gave me fifty cents and 
took the flag away. Aw, man. No fair. Also, that kind of impulse project 
was how I learned to type on a typewriter, and make go-karts, and do 
everything else. I would have learned to use a sewing machine, and just 
think what entirely different fabulous road I might be on now.

And here's one of the many super stories in Ted Chiang's collection /The 
Story of Your Life and Other Stories/. It's /Hell Is The Absence of 
God/. It's about a world just like ours, but where mythical biblical 
religious creatures are real and there's an afterlife. I think you'll 
like it. It's sad, steady and thoughtful.
