		<description><![CDATA[Via Twitter, I alluded to this last week or so, but only got a chance to scan these documents today after finally convincing Trinity to let me blog this.

		<description><![CDATA[So, if you haven&#8217;t noticed, I&#8217;ve been cleaning out my closets and drawers. My latest possession to go on the auction block, sort of, is my very old Keroppi bag. The bag is mostly olive-green, with dark green piping, and lime-green stitching and zippers. The bag itself is about 9-1/2 inches wide, 4-1/2 inches deep [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The same politicians who have been talking about a need for &#8220;affordable housing&#8221; for years are now suddenly alarmed that home prices are falling. How can housing become more affordable unless prices fall? The political meaning of &#8220;affordable housing&#8221; is housing that is made more affordable by politicians intervening to create government subsidies, rent control [...]]]></description>

Of course, the older and more battered your gadget is, the less you&#8217;ll get for it. But seeing as how our cell phones were not super old, and other sites I&#8217;d considered were still offering amounts into the [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;m seriously glad this month is over. Of course, I can probably avoid all this by just not buying stuff. But, hey. I&#8217;m just doing my [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s a remarkable thing, really, since I don&#8217;t really consider myself to be knowledgeable about anything in particular&#8230;I just know how to do stuff, and do it as cheaply as possible.
