		<title>Sun Worship and its Benefits to You as a Religion</title>
		<description><![CDATA[(For benefits of it as a religion scroll to the bottom) &#8211;what a sunny day in mid-November means for the main dacha house, a passive-solar, earth-bermed structure, and its inhabitants.

		<description><![CDATA[Now that I have my mornings free, I like to drink coffee early on and then wander around outside birdwatching, observing the seasons change, and last-minute gardening.
