		<title>A Truly Amazing Material</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When many of you head outdoors this season, whether for hunting or just to enjoy the crisp air, you&#8217;ll reap the benefits of technology and atmsopheric physics to help keep you dry. I still think one of the greatest innovations in outdoor equipment is fabric that is truly waterproof and windproof, yet allows moisture from your body to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Nearly 70 years later, the memory lives on&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This week is Winter Weather Awareness Week. It&#8217;s hard to think about the hazards of winter weather when the mercury continues to stay at or above 50°. But, as we hardy Midwesterners know, the weather can change on a dime. And it did just that in 1940. On November 11, 1940, one of the deadliest [...]]]></description>

		<title>Taurids, Leonids, and Geminids, Oh My!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Those of you spending time outside around Midnight these past couple of weeks have been treated to a great display of shooting stars thanks to the Taurid Meteor Shower. You may not have seen that many meteors an hour during the Taurids, but the few you saw likely were real fireballs &#8212; often slowly streaking across the sky [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tempus Fugit</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Central Standard Time returns to the Coulee Region Sunday morning, November 1, at 2AM. It used to be easy to remember when it was time to &#8220;fall back&#8221; an hour &#8212; it was the last Sunday in October. This all changed in 2007, when the Energy Policy Act of 2005 went into effect.
This act is [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Wet, Chilly October (So Far)</title>

		<title>Lord Of The Rings</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The planet Saturn has a new ring.
To be honest, Saturn has had this ring for millions of years, but it was only just detected by NASA&#8217;s Spitzer Space Telescope.
Unlike Saturn&#8217;s easy-to-see rings that are composed of mostly rock and space debris and hug the planet, this new, super-ring is composed mainly of ice and dust. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Full Moon Madness</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I love a night with a full moon, especially a cool, crisp night when the greenish/white lunar glow gives everything a cold, ghostly look.
Our next full moon is this Sunday, October 4. According to the Farmer&#8217;s Almanac, Sunday&#8217;s full moon is called the Harvest Moon, and is the name given to the full moon closest [...]]]></description>

		<title>Grab a rake! The leaves are changing&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Fall is my favorite time of the year. I love watching the leaves change from the deep green of summer to the reds, yellows and burgundies of fall. So what causes the leaves to change? And what conditions make for the most brilliant colors? 
Well&#8230; the folks at the National Weather Service recently posted a really [...]]]></description>
