		<description><![CDATA[  For the last month or so we have been getting this morning news paper on Sunday mornings.  I guess it is either complimentary or delivered by mistake because we do not subscribe.
Nor do we intend to subscribe.
The folk at the Dallas Morning News would do well to consider our position when it comes [...] ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[  I chuckle when I see current automobile ads where the seller gets all excited about the 30 mpg claimed for a new pint sized automobile.
I have been getting 32 mpg in my 1995 Camry LE for the last 12 years and it is a comfortable full sized car.
Low fuel economy along with outrageous purchase [...] ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[  As a consumer I have to ask, &#8220;What is in it for me&#8221;?  Denser storage.  About double what you can store on a normal DVD.  Okay, next question is, &#8220;Why do I need that&#8221;? So you can view HD movies on your HD TV.  I don&#8217;t have an HD TV. [...] ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[  Forty years or so ago I purchased my first hoe.  It was part of a package including a lawnmower, rake, shovel, and edger.  All implements required by a new homeowner to maintain the lawn and garden.  About ten years later the hoe broke.  It broke at the point where the [...] ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[  Lordy, lordy, seems that Ford has more than just financial problems.
Appears that they have used faulty valve stems on the tires of their new cars.  So the tires don&#8217;t stay inflated for long.  Wonder what other parts they have failed to test. You can&#8217;t build a car just from valve stems.
They got [...] ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[  I have been attracted to this radio ever since they first came out but I never actually bought one.  I either did not have the money and then, later, did not need it because I had something much better.
Recently I traded a 4-125 tube for an AR-3 in as-is non-working condition.
When the radio [...] ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[  Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.  All you need is money.
Used to be you could buy a sixpack for $1.30, but that was back in the 60s.  Now it is more like $6.50 for a sixpack.  Oh well, everything else is higher too.  [...] ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[  We have had a privacy fence around our backyard patio ever since we moved into this house back in 1979.  The original fence was not constructed of first rate prime grade fencing.  It was cobbled together using materials that had been salvaged from some other construction.
Some time after we moved in my [...] ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[  Compressed Natural Gas.  This stuff has been around as long as gasoline.  We are told it is 40 percent cheaper than gasoline.  So how come hardly anyone uses it?  Is the conversion to CNG expensive?  Is it as safe as gasoline?  Wasn&#8217;t there a town on the east [...] ]]></description>
