		<description><![CDATA[The last couple of weeks &#8211; well, month plus &#8211; have been full of stress and challenges on a personal front that I decided that I didn&#8217;t want to blog about.

So yesterday morning I checked out, went to work at MCBH [...]]]></description>

The rest of this post won&#8217;t make any sense to you. You&#8217;re the sort of person that thinks that not being allowed to carry a bottle of water onto a plane [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s hard not to make comment when you&#8217;re a blogger and a corrosion engineer, and corrosion actually makes it into the news. So why try to resist? I have been a little surprised at how big a splash the news that BP is shutting down the Prudhoe Bay oil field has made. I didn&#8217;t notice [...]]]></description>
