		<description><![CDATA[A rainstorm pushed through the city yesterday which had some high winds for about 10 minutes. I stepped outside to enjoy the scene when I heard a cracking noise. Looking down the street towards the noise I watched as a large tree limb fell into the street. My first instinct was to call the city [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On the morning of June 15th, 2010 I drove myself to Harrisburg Hospital because of a sharp pain I had in my chest. I arrived around 3am and diagnosed with pancreatitis. Within a few hours I was admitted and given a room. The only way to recover from pancreatitis is to not eat or drink [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sounds like people in Arizona are playing off each other making a big deal out of nothing. And the only thing that seems to be coming out of it is making the state look like it&#8217;s filled with racists. Good article from the Washington Post by Dana Milbank. The Arizona governor, seemingly determined to repel [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Over the weekend I attended a fun outing with some old friends. I haven&#8217;t seen them in a while and there were a lot of other people who I have seen in the past but who I didn&#8217;t know personally. I don&#8217;t like to stereotype, but they looked like the white-supremest  type. After a while [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I find it a bit bizarre that we as a nation go through so much strife to fuel our comfort levels. Some may disagree, but I believe some of the reason we&#8217;ve been involved in war in the Middle East is because of oil. Thousands of soldiers have died. But it&#8217;s ok, because we&#8217;re still [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The web site StimulusWatch.org has a nice listing of projects that are &#8220;shovel-ready&#8221; for Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. The site is nice because it lists a description of each project and allows users to vote for against each project whether money from federal stimulus funding should go towards each of these projects. It&#8217;s a nice overview what [...]]]></description>

It seems like the last two presidential elections have been very heavily involved with social networking sites and new forms of media to gain attention. Now with our new President the White House has it&#8217;s own blog! Needless to say, I have subscribed to the rss feed [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This will be interesting to follow. Sean Caleb of CNN is finding out what it is like to live on food stamps for one month. Since he doesn&#8217;t qualify to use this program, he found that the most a single person can qualify for is $176 per month. That&#8217;s about $6.28 per day. Can you [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I couldn&#8217;t help but link these two subjects together. With all of the news of large corporations getting bailout money from the government we often see these companies making the news when we see how the money is being spent. Big bonuses and new corporate jets for everyone! Ok, so I am exagerating a bit [...]]]></description>
