		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t go off-topic much, but this article is one I thought worthwhile.&#160; It is because I am constantly amazed at how little value people put on their time (or their employee&#8217;s time) when making decisions.&#160; Maybe because I am self employed and bill by the hour I am more sensitive to wasted time than [...]]]></description>

So I intentionally scheduled the procedure before winter snow was likely to be serious.&#160; Heavy snow isn&#8217;t common in Virginia in mid-December &#160; Well, as many of [...]]]></description>
