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.

Standing Down
Air Force Secretary James Roche is proposing scaling back domestic CAPs over major cities and going to strip-alert status. Given that everyone who flies now has pretty much steeled themselves to the thought of subduing any potential highjackers, this is the proper response, and one which probably could have been made a month or more ago. As for it allowing more time for training in other missions, that may be so, but it's hard to beat the type of training these good folks have been through in the last few months. Turning up the pucker factor has a way of building sharper reflexes.
