		<title>Report: Netanyahu says 9/11 terror attacks good for Israel</title>
		<description><![CDATA[And this is from Haaretz - Israel News! What better source of information.
So, how &#8220;good&#8221; for Israel was it? Other than forming a usable if provably unsubstantiated pretext for the Iraq war and much of our hectoring of Iran, that is.
Remarkable that anyone who thinks they&#8217;re qualified to lead Israel as Prime Minister would say [...]]]></description>

		<title>More Frost</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The hike to the store this morning had a little crunch to it. Grass in the shade sparkled. Good thing Jordan was wearing his fur coat &#8230; I&#8217;m looking at gloves.
Jordan is suffering from some dietary indescretions at a friend&#8217;s house-party. The 14 month-old twins were dropping copious amounts of random foods and Jordan made [...]]]></description>

		<title>Post Party-day</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Jordan and I are most relieved to have made it through the Radio Club Holiday Dinner. I spaced out and didn&#8217;t beg for help among all the other nonsense going on. There are a couple of annual awards and a radio raffle still hanging too. But the party went off and was, by most accounts, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Waterworks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So now the storm drain outlet is leaking. Last year it was the sewer lines. And the footings under the decks are even more sketchy than they were. Sigh. At least they&#8217;re going to do something a little more permanent this time.
We got our walk in by way of the Post Orifice. Dropped the Yardley [...]]]></description>

		<title>Jury Duty Day</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Jordan and I had to make our trek mostly in the dark this morning. We were saved by Starbucks being open so we didn&#8217;t have to do the crappy donuts at Safeway. It was raining and Jordan was glad to have the raincoat, for a change. There were a few moments of puppy rebellion and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Wi-Fi piggybacking widespread</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This Wi-Fi piggybacking widespread tripe is simply wrong-headed and legally stupid. There is no law saying that I must secure my WiFi port and furthermore, if I choose not to (and decide to take the risks associated) there is no law that says a neighbor or passerby is breaking any law. The article makes it [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;What Is the State of U.S. Disaster-Preparedness?&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In a Freakonomics  Blog entry in the NY Times, we get a collection of interesting pundit/expert quotes. Most of them have germs of ideas we can learn from. The bulk of the message is that they, the experts, are smart and the rest of us are dumb.
They are probably right but that&#8217;s not as [...]]]></description>

		<title>Inching Forward</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Got the draft Letter of Understanding tweaked. No word on their Appendix C (the plan) but that&#8217;s not the issue. The issue is getting agreement among the cats that being herded is a good thing.
Decided to bail on the EC meeting last night. Just wasn&#8217;t up for it. Besides, the Chicken Soup for the Old [...]]]></description>

		<title>More Fall-like</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We woke up to another morning of dense fog. It hung over the valley late into the morning. Taking the daily constitutional in shorts is getting harder and harder.
The weekly trip to &#8220;the farm&#8221; (where we pick up our food from the CSA) yielded a couple of mandarin oranges among more prosaic eggplant, greens, late-planted [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mt. Diablo Trail Adventure</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A morning after story. The &#8220;adventure&#8221; was yesterday and a good time was had by all. There were a 10K run and hike, a summit run, and a half and full marathons on the mountain. The only one upset was Jordan, who stayed at home.
The long routes made logistics and communications complicated. The limousine (van) [...]]]></description>
