I am having trouble adjusting to not being on Daylight Savings time. I am asleep by 9: 30 most every night and awake by 5: 30. It's still too early to get moving by then. I have started leaving a book by my bed to read for an hour or so. I have tried going back to sleep and it just doesn't work for me. Lately the book I have been reading is one by Gladys Taber, an essayist from the 1950s. She writes everything by months. She lived in New England.

Today we return to our treasure trove of stories from master storyteller Kathryn Tucker Windham, a true Alabama gem!
This episode originally broadcast on March 21, 2024, the original podcast post is here: https://pixelatedgeek.com/2024/03/binary-system-podcast-403-wtnv-244-a-multiplicity-of-kevin/ On the latest episode of Welcome to Night Vale, Kevin the Younger is determined to kill Kevin the Older, so he's used Carlos' lab to open a portal to the Desert Otherworld. Cecil wants to tell the story, Tamika wants to stop the bloodshed, and Carlos wants everyone to PLEASE be careful of the beakers they're fragile and can we oh COME ON what did I JUST SAY? After the recap we talk about The Crown, both the Netflix show that just wrapped up and the ridiculous goings on with the Royal Family in the real world. (Not to make light, we hope everyone's okay, but maybe for the sake of the empire we could have fewer crappy Photoshop images and people screwing around on their spouses, kaythnxbye.) In addition to all that we have the usual tangents into Pie-in-the-Sky cosplay plans, reading summaries of horror movies you're too chicken to watch, catching up with Marvel TV, Legends and Lattes, Paul Atreides being more of a tragic figure than a villain in the book, and whether or not greek yogurt on hot dog buns would be nice. This week's outro is a clip from Blade Rider by Beat Mekanik. The ghost-story author we were trying to think of is Kathryn Tucker Windham. This is the Vox article that compares The Royal Family to pandas. Looking for a present for that hard-to-shop-for person? Want to buy them (or yourself) a square foot of a castle in Scotland?

“Nearly all colleges have ghosts, legends that have grown up around some supernatural occurrences generations of students tell to each other [...] but the finest of those ghost stories, those college ghost stories, is told here at Huntingdon College in Montgomery.” - Kathryn Tucker Windham, 1918 - 2011 Huntingdon College of Montgomery, Alabama regularly makes the lists of ‘most haunted' universities in America as generations of students have claimed the ghost of a young woman haunts the fourth floor of Pratt Hall--an apparition that has become known as the Red Lady. Legend claims that this young woman named Martha left behind her home in New York to attend the institution, but upon her arrival, she was overcome by homesickness and the loneliness of being misunderstood by the other girls in her dormitory. As a result, Martha did something drastic that students continue to whisper about to this day. But did Martha actually exist or is this just another tall tale to frighten freshmen?
