		<description><![CDATA[There is no question that the coming year will see us in financial difficulty whoever we are, whether we are individuals, families, towns, cities, states, or nations; and whether we are employees or business owners, local supermarkets, Citigroup, Ford, or Best Buy.
There is also no question that many of us are worried about whether we&#8217;ll [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Every morning, my drive to work takes me over the causeway between Squantz Pond and Candlewood Lake. Sometimes, I slow down and take a photograph of Squantz Pond. It&#8217;s always the same view, and never the same.
