		<description><![CDATA[People often ask me what it&#8217;s like to live in a yurt. As I wrote in an essay published in The Smoking Poet last Fall, much of the living goes on around the yurt rather than in it. And that&#8217;s as it should be with a shelter traditionally used by nomads. Take the shower. There&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m ecstatic to be back on our property in Northeastern Oregon.  There&#8217;s lots to do: organizing inside the yurt to make cooking and storage more convenient, building a spring box and laying pipe to get potable water into the yurt, putting in the garden.  And there are many challenges: a muddy road, cars that get [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tomorrow, we drive to NE Oregon to spend a week or so in our yurt (and a few other places).  The creature I fear most on this trip is not the cougar, wolf or porcupine.  It's much smaller.  Most females and the younger males of the species could fit into the palm of my hand....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the things I loved best about teaching high school social studies was shaking up students' perceptions of history.  And one of my favorite lessons was in Ancient History.  I'd bring in a a jar of beans and a potato with so many sprouts it looked like an octopus (the fact that I always found one in my cupboard could have doubled as a cautionary lesson in the domestic arts)....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Okay, I'll admit we had some electricity before.  With Jerry being an electrical engineer, we'll always have electricity.  But we're enjoying major improvements now: bigger solar panels and a more centralized system with wiring (still pretty funky) into the yurt.  We even have a light switch (more on that in another post)....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I'd like to keep this a family friendly blog, but what else should I call it?  Feces? Excrement? Waste? Poo?  They all sound too distant, clinical or childish.   It's so easy to refer to it in euphemisms when clean water washes it far away, into rivers, oceans, or sewage treatment plants.  But when you have to figure out how to deal with it yourself, it turns to shit....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The dilapidated house is home to many packrats, a frog that lives in the old stove, a few birds, and many wasps.   But the phone line goes to the house (and thanks to Jerry's engineering now goes to the shady side), so that's where I do my online work.  It's a lovely quarter mile walk from the yurt....]]></description>
