		<description><![CDATA[Do you know what really bugs me about on-line shopping? Credit card fields where you either must or must not put in the spaces between the groups of digits in your credit card number. It&#8217;s even worse when they don&#8217;t tell you which they expect.
A note to on-line shopping web site developers: Get with it! [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been over three weeks since I last went flying, so it was great to finally get a nice day between all the snow storms. The sky was completely clear and visibility was virtually unlimited. The cold temperature made for a very low density altitude (about -1500 MSL), giving an express-elevator climb on take-off.
Once again, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Our home renovation continues, so I decided I&#8217;d go shoot some photos of it from the air. I also planned to take a picture of Lori&#8217;s friend&#8217;s house, which is off the end of the right downwind of runway 23 in Stratford (CNM4). So, I flew a triangular flight from CYKF to CNM4, did a [...]]]></description>

I took one of our co-op students up for his first GA flight. He snapped this picture with a cellphone camera. I could only see the top half of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On Thursday&#8217;s AvWeb news there appeared an article about a proposed three-parachute recovery system for light aircraft. The concepts involves jettisoning the wings which then each descend on their own &#8216;chutes, while the fuselage descends on a larger main parachute.
