		<description><![CDATA[To understand winter&#8217;s arrival, the year&#8217;s shortest day, how giant vegetables can grow in Alaska and why Christmas is held on December 25, you must understand this: Our world is tilted. The Earth goes around the Sun while leaning at a 23.5-degree angle—a far more dramatic slant than that of, say, the Leaning Tower of [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=naturalistsnote.wordpress.com&amp;blog=11045178&amp;post=10717&amp;subd=naturalistsnote&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I remember watching three-toed sloths in a forest in Panama some years ago. They were among the oddest but coolest animals I&#8217;d seen. &#8220;Sloth&#8221; comes from an old English word meaning slow, and these gentle tree-dwellers were almost a parody of super-slow-motion.
