Well here we are, still alive, July in the American Desert. Good enough, we guess.

Coming right up at 10 p.m. on KCDZ 107.7 FM across the High Desert. Soundscapes on both from RedBlueBlackSilver. Thanks to everybody who supports the show on Patreon. Just click below if you’d like to join the few & the proud:
Did you hear about the mysterious, silent green fireballs flying low and bright in the skies over Australia last week? Ever seen one yourself? Ever thought they were just some sort of meteor, as that’s what the Experts claimed? Well the experts are pulling your leg, they don’t know either.
Come back to 1947 New Mexico with us, as we visit the strange mystery of the Green Fireballs. And don’t forget to throw us a few bucks on Patreon, it’s how we keep the studio going, the electricity flowing. http://patreon.com/DesertOracle
Fifty years ago, there was a radical plan to completely remake a county sheriff’s department in an iconic western town. It almost worked, they almost won. The job still needs to be done.
What does it mean to be a ranger? It means you are married to the mission, a soldier for your planetary home, armed with a moral compass and a Smokey Bear hat—a park-ranger style, by the way, that was introduced by the first generation of national park rangers, the Buffalo Soldiers black Calvary regiment, who began duty as Yosemite’s park rangers in 1899. With new sounds by RedBlueBlackSilver and a historical look at the Civilian Conservation Corps that was created to serve America’s national parks back in the last Great Depression.
We mention Yosemite National Park Ranger Shelton Johnson in this episode. He’s on Instagram right here. It’s because of Shelton Johnson that know a lot more about the Buffalo Soldiers who served as the first park rangers in Yosemite, beginning way back in 1899.
When it’s Snakesgiving Time in the Mojave, everybody’s just a little more careful. Goes well with these weird new times, being careful. So please make an effort to not run over any tortoises or coyotes or bobcats or gopher snakes when you’re racing through the re-opened national park.

Are they trying to ram a space-alien story down your throat again? Yeah they are, it happens sometimes. Every couple years, for reasons even they can’t agree upon. Let’s take a last look at this “Pentagon UFO” business and move on, because if ever we needed to move on, that time has come. It’s Episode #090, and you just love to see it.
Plus: What happened over Farmington, New Mexico, in March of 1950? Whatever it was, everybody saw it. It, them, whatever it was, whatever they are. AND: Lots of real good new RedBlueBlackSilver space jams.

A tarnished brass key, a small locked box, a sequence of magical numbers, a charmless old block building in the desert. It is here that we visit in the night, keeping our distance, looking for sustenance. It is here we receive your offerings of words and other treasure. All we mean is this: Tonight’s show is all about the letters from you, letters from our listening community, letters and their replies.
