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.

One year ago today, on the heels of the attack on New York City, Brookwood, Alabama and surrounding communities suffered their own loss in two explosions of the Jim Walter - Brookwood #5 mine.
Thirteen men died--twelve were men who rushed into the mine shaft to free trapped workers--and three men were injured.
May those who gave their lives always be remembered, and may God protect the men who go back down into the earth each day. posted by Terry at
