		<description><![CDATA[Sigh. Finding signs, advertising, and other major spelling and grammatical mistakes in my hometown area is occurring much too frequently. Here&#8217;s a picture of sign in front of an &#8220;unnamed church&#8221; in Hayden: Naturally my brother, being the observant excellent photographer that he is, managed to include the street address of the &#8220;unnamed&#8221; church. So, [...]]]></description>
