      <title>Hmmmm</title>
      <description>"The 1st United States Congress voted to pay Washington a salary of $25,000 a year—a large sum in 1789. Washington, already wealthy, declined the salary, since he valued his image as a selfless public servant. At the urging of Congress, however, he ultimately accepted the payment, to avoid setting a precedent whereby the presidency would be perceived as limited only to independently wealthy individuals who could serve without any salary."  - Wikipedia</description>

      <title>Hard Times...</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;You know, its like that time of year where all the fit-hits-the-shan so to speak and crap just goes to hell in a handbasket.  Everyone has these times of year, perhaps sometimes even more than once a year unfortunately.  Its just hard times I guess, and in such times I turn to things that make me happy.  Like my beloved Seagull TLR camera.  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/codejoy/2630351398/" title="IMG_0643 by Codejoy, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3117/2630351398_d82a4da3dd.jpg" width="333" height="500" alt="IMG_0643" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The odd thing about it is, it was purchased off Ebay and I realize I have no clue who the person who sold this camera was, and why someone would sell such a fine camera.  Then I wonder if it was that persons hard times, like did I inherit their hard times?  Or help them by purchasing this lovely camera in their hard times?  I dunno...just the random crap I think I guess.&lt;/p&gt;
