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.

Police officers lose submachine gun and pistol from back of pickup, commuters find them
WILSON, N.C. (AP) -- Two police officers in town from Raleigh to teach a gun course lost a submachine gun and a handgun out of the back of their pickup truck. They couldn't find the weapons, but commuters did. [...]

The officers retraced their route into town but couldn't find the guns, and had to call local police. About two dozen Wilson police officers and Wilson County sheriff's deputies helped search for most of the day without success. In the meantime, a Wilson resident found the bag containing the submachine gun near U.S. 301, took it home and called police after discovering what was in the bag. Another resident found the handgun along U.S. 264.


Lucky they weren't found by folks who wouldn't give them back!
