OH, STORMY...

And here's the show I did in the aftermath of the worst storm the northern Oregon/southern Washington coast has seen for some time. Nothing out of the ordinary, other than having to do it with a single, generator-run light for illumination, which was fine because it kept me from seeing the giant elm that had fallen mere inches from the KMUN air room and loomed ominously outside the window as I broadcast. And after driving through downtown Astoria late that night, I regretted not having a copy of the Specials' "Ghost Town" with me, though #23 (ooooh) below seemed appropriate on both sides of the em dash. An auspicious way to celebrate my 50th show, eh wot?
