*****************
Joys of BBC Radio: old comedy radio plays. From 1997 "Old Harry's Game" with screamingly wicked funny comic Andy Hamilton. Smart comedy set in Hell: Satan (Hamilton) up against a recent arrival genial skeptic of a professor (who's only sin is that he was an atheist).

Today's show: "Satan conducts interviews for a new assistant. In the running are Scumspawn and a dolphin."

I need to buy this from BBC.

Planet gazing at dusk.
Either here, Davis, or in between.

This is going to require a coat, and hot tea. Fog? Oy.
Well, per weather.com, around sunset should avoid the later fog.
