		<description><![CDATA[In the first days of November 2004 I spent three days working for the John Kerry campaign in Albuquerque. My then-wife Jennifer and I joined with Jim Liebman to GOTV on the city&#8217;s northwest side. We parted from him in sadness after watching the returns that evening. Nearly eight years later, I was glad to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the last couple of weeks, I&#8217;ve ridden the single-speed to work a few times, and around town on errands. I can now put Zoe in a rear-rack-mounted seat on the old hybrid&#8212much to her delight&#8212and make it at least as far as the preschool. However, today, almost 8 weeks after the crash, was the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve always been wary of Neighborhood Watch groups, crime prevention councils, and the like. This helps me understand why. Homeowners in George Zimmerman&#8217;s subdivision could be liable for damages from the wrongful death of Trayvon Martin. The potential levy reflects the moral hazard in getting involved in this kind of activity&#8212including just attending a meeting. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The current statewide stormwater Phase II NPDES permit was issued in 2003 and expired in 2008. It&#8217;s been extended administratively while State Water Resources Control Board staff drafts an update. This permit tells smaller California cities and towns what they must do to reduce the amount of pollutants discharged from their streets, gutters, and drainage [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A few blocks of walking late last night has left my left calf and MCL singing. Most surprisingly, it also made me tired, the way an hour&#8217;s run or a 3-hour bike ride used to, before the February 9 crash. I don&#8217;t know how hard to push myself. Each time, I&#8217;ll have to guess whether [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A month after the February 9 crash, I&#8217;m still hobbled by two sprained ankles, two sprained knees, and a torn calf muscle. And I can&#8217;t seem to focus for very long, or for very much of the day, on work or on anything else. I&#8217;m stuck between two conflicting desires: One, to relax into the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[From wikipedia: In epistemology, &#8216;voluntarism&#8217; describes the view that belief is a matter of the will rather than one of simply registering one&#8217;s cognitive attitude or degree of psychological certainty with respect to a stated proposition. If one is a voluntarist with respect to beliefs, it is coherent to simultaneously feel very certain about a particular [...]]]></description>
