Latina and My Black Bag were abruptly ended due to power failures.

There was a long (~15 minute) break after The Whales while announcements
were made for Clean Water Day, and the Mayor of Santa Cruz gave a speech.
I stopped the recording during this, chopped out the cruft with CDWav,
and inserted 4 seconds of silence.
