This week on Timetable: Books and fireworks

First of all, it’s more like the first two days this week on Timetable as we hope to have finally rebuilt the rest of the Magic City MySpace Directory by Thursday morning.

One more 101.1 FM update

They’ve been working hard all day and there’s a storm coming this way too. The image above shows volunteers finishing up loading the 2nd truck.
