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.

From Alastair McIntyre's Electric Scotland, the regular "Holy Wit" feature of the weekly newsletter:
One New Year Sunday a Helmsdale minister rebuked his church officer, not only for arriving late for the evening service, but also for being the worse for drink, and for falling asleep during the sermon. The man excused himself by saying that he had been up the Strath that afternoon, and then added, 'You know what it is like at New Year.' 'I know perfectly well,' replied the minister. 'I was up the Strath myself this afternoon visiting, and I am not in the state that you are in.' 'No,' agreed the beadle, 'but you are not as popular as I am.'
IINS,IC!
