		<description><![CDATA[Last night (25 November, 2008) saw me lose some amount of respect for Alex Trebek. One clue in the Double Jeopardy round amounted to asking for another name of &#8220;low-grade marble&#8221;. One person guessed &#8220;granite&#8221;. Obviously wrong. No one else guessed. The answer, Alex announced, was &#8220;limestone&#8221;, and then indicated that &#8220;granite, of course, is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This November, California offers its residents twelve delectible ballot measures for their approval or rejection or apathy. Here they are, what the Dems say, what the Repubs say, and what I say.
1A: High speed trains. D: Yes, R: No.

These pictures are taken with a small digital camera looking through modest binoculars. Using the binoculars with the eye, sharp detail on the surface of the moon can be made out and the moons of Jupiter are easily seen when at large elongation. I have tried to capture these with the digital camera.
The setup consists [...]]]></description>
