		<description><![CDATA[A couple of weeks ago, my computer became possessed by the letter &#8220;h&#8221;.  It started out occasionally typing an &#8220;h&#8221; randomly while I was working and then began doing it more frequently.  It got to the point where I couldn&#8217;t backspace fast enough, log into anything that required a password, and it changed the name [...]]]></description>

		<title>Going green &amp; getting organized with Chico Bags</title>

I&#8217;ve been using them for years to grocery shop, go to the farmers market, picnics, etc. I often get asked about them so I thought I&#8217;d do a post I could direct people to. What I love about them is:
