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.

Who says airport security is weak!? Spilled latte mix causes airport scare

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (AP) -- A little cafe latte made Huntsville International Airport officials jumpy, forcing passengers to stick around for several hours and wait to claim their baggage.

Airport officials called in Huntsville Fire & Rescue and the department's Hazardous Materials team after baggage handlers spotted a brown granular substance in the cargo area while unloading a flight from Memphis Sunday evening.

It turned out to be spilled cafe latte mix.

"The decision was made to just investigate what it was," Barbie Peek, the airport's director of marketing, said Monday. "It was a precautionary procedure."
Why is it all I can imagine is Bill Murray in Caddyshack, cleaning out the pool and finding a Baby Ruth...
