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.

Tales from the Hajj
Speaking Wednesday on the Qatar-based satellite channel al-Jazeera, a senior Saudi security official said authorities were not expecting any trouble. Brig. Mansour Turki boasted that they were so confident, security and police inside the holy city were unarmed. "In other places of the world police are heavily armed even in sports events," said Turki, who is in charge of hajj affairs in the public security department.

Gee, Turki, it sounds simply dreamy! I wish our folks could walk around sports events without worrying about the dangers of guys financed by the House-O-Saud trying to blow us up.
