		<description><![CDATA[There are so many wrongs in this world, it is easy to feel paralyzed by the obesity of inequality. Hopelessness attempts to set as the weight pulls us down. We wonder: if the Mayans are right, what is the point of change? This year I have made a conscious effort to take a different tactic. [...]]]></description>

Now I have no problem with a police officer asking me if I am OK. There was just a tornado in Dwight, the location from [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday marked the 37th anniversary of Roe v. Wade. It is among the most controversial Supreme Court decisions in U.S. history, and each year those for and against legalized abortion face off in what seems to be a never-ending battle. As I am fiercely pro-choice, I can accept that some women believe abortion is wrong. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Day 82–Sept. 23 (Pittsburgh, PA-Bellvue, PA, 7.9 miles) Leaving Pittsburgh today I felt conflicted. I was not interested in being part of a G-20 protest that could become violent. And I didn&#8217;t think it was my battle. But, with each step I took, I realized that every protest is my battle–our battle–to preserve democracy and [...]]]></description>

According to an article in the Surrey North Delta Leader, chicken manure was spread around a Whalley social service building on Aug. 14 in an attempt to drive away vagrants.

I have met amazing and generous people and made lifelong friends. I&#8217;ve walked through impoverished communities and been touched as those with almost nothing pulled money out of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Day 23–July 26 (Greensburg, PA-Irwin, PA, 8.1 miles) Loitering is not my idea of a good time. And I doubt most people enjoy loitering. But, when you are homeless, it is a way of life. Since I&#8217;ve begun this journey I&#8217;ve spent hours loitering. I&#8217;ve loitered at Panera, at Starbucks and McDonald&#8217;s. I&#8217;ve spent time [...]]]></description>
