		<description><![CDATA[The Prairie Home cemetery in Richland is only ten miles from home.    I hadn&#8217;t been there since a long-ago Memorial Day when one of my kids was in high school band, well before I started the Spokesrider project.  (Gull Lake High School is almost next door.) I expected to find that some of the 52 <a href='http://www.spokesrider.com/2011/08/21/george-l-slater/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I live on the north side of the Kalamazoo River, but most of my riding destinations are on the south where there were settlers at the time of the Black Hawk war. The places to cross the river are limited, but one of those I use most frequently is on the east side of Galesburg. <a href='http://www.spokesrider.com/2010/07/27/finally-the-rains-cease/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

Speaking of which, the above is a photo taken just before riding home from work in early May 2006. I found it while looking for other photos.

I stopped here just in case there wasn&#8217;t anything else to take a photo of.

		<description><![CDATA[The article that inspired the name for the new blog, Front Porch Republic, tells of a 1975 essay titled &#8220;From Porch to Patio&#8221;. It explains how homes used to be built with front porches where people could interact with their neighbors. Now we more often have patios in back. They are more secluded and private&#8211;places <a href='http://www.spokesrider.com/2009/04/09/front-porch-republic/'>[...]</a>]]></description>
