		<description><![CDATA[“What are we waiting for? The time is late.”-Dietrich Bonhoeffer Edward Abbey was born this day in 1927.

All you can do is live wisely and stay out of its path. You don&#8217;t want to be part of it. You want to survive until the water recedes [...]]]></description>

		<title>Autumn in America</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been reading a fascinating account of the last days of the Comanche empire titled Empire of the Summer Moon, by S.C. Gwynne. Gwynne&#8217;s background is in journalism, not in history, but the account is well written, highly entertaining, and for the most part, well researched and accurate.
