		<title>&#8220;Arctic Freshness Tempered By The Dry Crease Of Good Bond Paper&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Good food writing is hard to do, particularly in a smaller field like describing booze. I have just discovered the writing of Lew Bryson from a post on John Hansell&#8217;s blog, and quite like the style of both men&#8217;s work. Bryson&#8217;s the managing editor of one of my favorite magazines, Hansell&#8217;s Malt Advocate, and also [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Update: Chris and Ken in comments below reveal that the actual writer was a bubblehead: Dex Armstrong wrote the story first. Neptunus Lex finds a nostalgic telling of liberty in the Old Airdale Navy. Before my time, really, alas. Plus, the Horse and Cow was in a different home port.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m glad the Galco pop shop, which I&#8217;ve been lucky enough to have known about for a while, is getting some attention. Cobb has a lovely description of a visit there. I&#8217;ve only known about them through their internet sales, and it would be a blast to visit the actual shop.]]></description>

		<title>Can&#8217;t Wait Till CDR Salamander Riffs On This</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Brit ship is very capable as long as you don&#8217;t need to, uh, kill anything. HMS Daring, first of the Type 45s, will have been in Navy hands for a year in eight days&#8217; time. She is armed with nothing but a 4.5-inch &#8220;Kryten&#8221; gun turret and a pair of light 30mm cannon, suitable for [...]]]></description>

		<title>We Still Don&#8217;t Get It</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Afghan Quest proves Twain&#8217;s aphorism that a lie gets halfway around the world while the truth is still getting its boots on. The French had found rocket fragments from two rockets. One was Chinese and the other of Russian manufacture. They did not get the word out immediately. In fact, the reaction of the French [...]]]></description>

		<title>This Certainly Gives Me Confidence</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Months after telling a guy to do a job, everyone gets in a room to discuss how he&#8217;s going to do it&#8230;and immediately begin disagreeing as to what the job is. &#8230;a mission statement on a PowerPoint slide: “Defeat the Taliban. Secure the Population.” “Is that really what you think your mission is?” one of [...]]]></description>
