Katrina, etc,

Wally at EZ Flyfishing/Wilson Creek Outfitters has established some type
of deal for his customers to send funds to the Red Cross. Of course, I
batch deleted his e-mail, so I have no idea what he was doing or how it
works. g

Wayne and others, I'm glad to hear that you are getting
good news about your loved ones' health and safety. I
hope RDean checks in soon, I could never tell if he
lived near there or not. Our prayers are definitely
with the people caught up in this.

I'll second Tim's recommendation of donations to the Red
Cross and the Salvation Army -- roff regulars could easily
tally up $5K without sweating (not that we should count, just
saying we could make a dent, as a group). Right now, their
servers are pretty busy, I barely got through on the SA site,
and the RC site never responded. Our local red cross told me
that the 800 numbers are also bogged down, and it would
be easiest to just mail a check at this point (Red Cross,
PO Box 37243, Wash DC, 20013 if you care).

I've heard there are already emails out there with fake
red cross web addresses in them, so watch out for scammers,
only give through reputable contacts...

Jon.
