One of the most vexing things about natural disasters - aside from the obvious problems, like death and wanton destruction - is their complete disrespect for deadlines and schedules. Thus, news of this fine benefit for victims of Hurricane Katrina reached my in box too late for inclusion in Border Radio, but merits some publicity nevertheless:

THIS SATURDAY, October 22nd
