Sadly @metrolosangeles.bsky.social was only running extra outbound trains. None were going inbound to The Sunny Bungalow.

Susan Stamberg has gone to the great radio newsroom in the sky. She always had a pose with her of dedicated, journalists, engineers, and others, along with legions of public radio fans. God, we’ll miss her.

28 years ago today I wandered into 635 Mass Ave NW in DC, sat down at a console & started playing with buttons, knobs, & faders. Since no one yelled, “Hey, what are you doing there?” & they seem to need the help, I stayed.

When you marry into a Yucatecan, family & acclimate to the Chiles in the cuisine, you get a sense of which to respect like Habanero or Thai Chiles and which ones to take lightly like pepperoncini. Then you make the stupid mistake of putting way too much Calabrian Chile into your pasta dish. #Ouch
