Not in the clamor of the crowded street, not in the shouts and plaudits of the throng, but in ourselves, are triumph and defeat.--Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

REDIRECT ALERT! (Scroll down past this mess if you're trying to read an archived post. Thanks. No, really, thanks.)

Due to my inability to control my temper and complacently accept continued silliness with not-quite-as-reliable-as-it-ought-to-be Blogger/Blogspot, your beloved Possumblog will now waddle across the Information Dirt Road and park its prehensile tail at http://possumblog.mu.nu.

This site will remain in place as a backup in case Munuvia gets hit by a bus or something, but I don't think they have as much trouble with this as some places do. ::cough::blogspot::cough:: So click here and adjust your links. I apologize for the inconvenience, but it's one of those things.

Alabama among fastest-growing states for convenience stores
Alabama grew nearly 21 percent to 3,361 from 2000 to 2001, placing Alabama No. 5 among U.S. states for such growth. [...]The No. 1 state for convenience store growth is Alaska, which last year saw that industry grow 47 percent (although to only 196 stores), followed by Rhode Island, New Jersey and South Dakota.

Believe it or not, the entire bulk of this growth occurred in my home town. All of us now have our own convenience store and gas station located right in the front yard.

Apu says "Hey."
