		<description><![CDATA[The Hubble Space Telescope was launched from the space shuttle Discovery on April 24, 1990, making this date its birthday, or more accurately, its sixteenth launch-day.

Hubble has produced some truly remarkable images of space, and I always enjoy looking at them and marveling at the wondrousness of our Universe.

		<description><![CDATA[If an award for the most interesting and amazing Tucson yard was given out, Harrison Yocum, horticulturist and founder of the Tucson Botanical Gardens, would most certainly win. Harrison is a friend of my parents, and I went with them to visit him last Saturday.

My parents told me to bring along my camera, and I&#039;m [...]]]></description>

I don&#039;t live too far away from Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, and this weekend they were having their annual Heritage Flight Conference. The free air show from my [...]]]></description>

The best thing about these mints, besides their taste, is that they are fun for children to make. When I was a child, [...]]]></description>

Because water is so scarce in the desert, an excellent way to attract a wide variety of wildlife to your yard here is to provide them with a reliable, clean [...]]]></description>

The application of this green spray is called hydroseeding or hydromulching. The two terms [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Five pet peeves:
1. People who bite paperback library books. Yes it&#039;s strange, but people actually do this for some inexplicable reason. I&#039;ve found human tooth marks on paperbacks (mostly on mystery novels) at every library I&#039;ve ever visited. And no, I&#039;m not the one doing it! These are not the more understandable bite marks of [...]]]></description>

These red clay tiles are handmade in Saltillo, Mexico from that area&#039;s reddish clay. Saltillo tiles are laid outside to dry before firing, and you can occasionally find animal prints in [...]]]></description>
