		<description><![CDATA[Hey! We&#8217;re back.
I took a little hiatus from the blog.  We had a really busy tree season, I moved into a new house, and we had a little rain in the Nashville area.  My thoughts have been elsewhere.
For my re-entry post I thought I&#8217;d touch on a recent article looking at the mess that is [...]]]></description>
