		<description><![CDATA[What a trip this has been to Mali.  I brought my wife Sara and niece Aimee with my on this assignment  with Winrock.  Aimee has been a great traveler, never complaining about anything except the heat, which we&#8217;ve all had our fill of.

		<description><![CDATA[Hooter hunting ends tomorrow, and king salmon are just starting to show up.  I caught one with Kurt last night near the road-side rocks that people fish from last evening.

		<title>Last Great Hate</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The don&#8217;t ask, don&#8217;t tell in the military has reared its ugly head again.  I call this the last great hate.

And a book that I realized was written about the place I am sitting, only in another time and certainly another world before oil and internet and communications.  3 guys get to where I&#8217;m at from Nome by schooner, then build a place to live, then set out [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ice Road Update</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A friend asked the other day about oil development in ANWR.  I told him my opinions on both sides of the issue, including how the Porcupine Herd is different than the smaller herds that occupy Prudhoe Bay and western Alaska.
