		<title>I&#8217;m in the LA Times again&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8230; this time for their &#8220;Money Makeover&#8221; column. Unfortunately, the reporter got several facts wrong.

I have a Special Use Permit, not a lease. The 100-year lease thing is one piece of misinformation that just will not die.
  
My permit fees are annual, not monthly.
The Forest Service only requires me to vacate the cabin when [...]]]></description>

		<title>Saying Goodbye to 2009</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As 2009 comes to an end, I look back at all the changes it brought to so many forest dwellers. The Station Fire began modestly enough, but, like all things that cause great change, it caught everyone by surprise. I know I will never forget the snow of ash, the red air swirling around me, [...]]]></description>

		<title>December 2009 News and Updates</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I know it&#8217;s been a while since I&#8217;ve sent out an update. I&#8217;ve been gradually settling into my new life, trying to figure out what to do and how to do it. Overall, things are progressing. It just seems very slow and difficult at times, more so than I ever expected.
The cabin in Big Tujunga [...]]]></description>

		<title>Leaving Big Tujunga Canyon</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t know how closely you follow the news, but earlier this week the USGS released their assessment of the debris flow dangers created by the Station Fire. The unfortunate reality is that my house, Nana&#8217;s cabin, is right, smack in the middle of one of the most dangerous parts of the burned areas. The problem [...]]]></description>

		<title>Station Fire, One Month After</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The following is a repost of my first official Editorial on the Angeles Rising website. While I have been very careful to only post news and updates to that site, I felt the need to express an opinion given the onset of investigations into actions taken leading up to the Tujunga Inferno. Take what you [...]]]></description>

		<title>News and Views from Big T</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Every day I am reminded of the wonders of the Universe. Nothing can compare with the miracles I see around me every day, in the Herculean efforts of the work crews striving to restore power and clear debris, and in the resurgence of greenery in trees that a few short days ago looked dead and [...]]]></description>

		<title>There&#8217;s GREEN in them thar hills!!!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I first returned to the canyon to see the damage left by the fire, I was amazed at how much life remained in spite of the devastation. Now, three weeks later, I&#8217;m even more amazed at how the trees are bouncing back from immersion in an inferno. Even the oak trees have bright green [...]]]></description>

		<title>Status Update &#8211; Back in the Canyon!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[News Flash! I&#8217;m back in the canyon!
Saturday, Sunday and Monday were all about cleaning and raking and fixing fencing and running around and putting out fires (literally and figuratively!) By the end of the day yesterday I was tired and achy, covered with dirt and ash, my lungs felt like they were full of sand, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fire update, Wednesday AM</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sorry for not sending an update yesterday. Between switching residences and other things, it was a busy day.
Yesterday morning the Ranger for our district drove several caravans of residents into the forest so we could assess the damage, and, where possible, retrieve additional items from our homes. You may have seen the article in the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fire Update &#8211; Monday, August 31</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just a quick update &#8211; not much new to report about my house and its status. As reported before, the Forest Ranger for my district personally confirmed that my cabin is one of the few left standing in Big T. I guesstimate that better than 3/4 of my neighbors lost their homes. What remains unknown [...]]]></description>
