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.

Linked first by Mac Thomason over at War Liberal, this bit of very exciting news for the Magic City; Hot Birmingham mops up: Named 12th sweatiest in U.S. From Carol Robinson of The Birmingham News,
Tuscaloosa and Northport are Alabama's only officially designated All-American Cities this year, but la-di-dah. Birmingham is the 12th sweatiest.

Old Spice, the deodorant people, saluted the Magic City on Tuesday for the volume of its residents' perspiration the salty, stinky product of our hard-working pores.

"I believe it. I've been all over and it's just as hot here as any place I've ever been," said drywall laborer Donnie Tucker. "You can't hide from it, you just have to get sweaty."

Old Spice marked the advent of summer by releasing its list of Top 50 Sweatiest Summer Cities. San Antonio is the nation's No. 1 perspiration producer, with the average resident oozing more than one liter per hour during a typical summer day. Dallas/Fort Worth followed with New Orleans coming in a close third.

For once, Birmingham beat out some of its rival neighbors, including Atlanta (No. 13) and Charlotte (No. 16). So there.
Of course, if we build our domed stadium, we are sure to go down in the rankings. All I know is that I certainly do my part to help out.
