		<title>You Little Stinker</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ Not long ago we were out for a walk and we smelled a skunk &#8212; a very ripe, very dead skunk.

		<title>Seeing Red</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Vision at night is difficult at best, whether you are watching wildlife or searching the sky for meteor showers.  But it always seems you need just a  bit more light to check the settings on your camera.  Or to find the position of a constellation on your star map.
