		<title>Summer Entry Contest Winners!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[First Place:
4 am. Probably my least favourite time of day&#8230;. I stumble out of bed, sore.  Left wrist still tweaky?  Check.
Eat breakfast, make lunch, get in the truck, and sneak in another hour of sleep.  It’s going to be hot today.  As I load bundles of trees into my bags, the challenge before me awakens [...]]]></description>
