		<description><![CDATA[Detective Polhaus: &#8220;Heavy. What is it?&#8221;
Sam Spade: &#8220;The, uh, stuff that dreams are made of.&#8221;
Last night was rainy. Several storms moved through the area, bringing heavy rain, strong wind, and occasional light hail. The lightning show was spectacular.
Under normal circumstances, I would not have been out in it, braving the rain-slicked roads in the Mustang. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Big Blot on Broadway</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I sort of wish I still had up my old Stop Defacing Rochester! blog, because I would certainly be blowing digital raspberries at this sacrilege.
Clearly, the people behind Big Brad&#8217;s on Broadway (not to be confused with any of the other nonexistent Big Brad&#8217;s locations) put zero consideration into the grand, historic 110-year-old building that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Who do you remember today?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Though my family has a long history of serving in the armed forces&#8211;ranging from the War of 1812, to the Civil War to the Spanish-American War, to both World Wars&#8211;we have been fortunate that only two have died in uniform. My great-great-great uncle, a German immigrant named Hood, was killed in the Civil War, but [...]]]></description>

		<title>Blowback</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Weekend before last the local paper ran a nice half-page collectibles feature on typewriters. I and some of my typers had prominent spots in the piece, which is neither here nor there.
Now I see that there has been a definite shift in attitude at my favorite thrift store, the one that until now had been [...]]]></description>

		<title>Not all girlie-girl typers are pink</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Under normal circumstances, if I were to come across a late-model Royal Royalite in the thrift store, I would probably pass it by&#8211;especially an off-white one beginning to yellow with age. The Holland-made Royals  with the &#8220;squashed Futura&#8221; look just don&#8217;t do much for me.
But an off-white Royalite slathered in flower decals&#8230;?

Now that&#8217;s irresistible tackiness! [...]]]></description>
