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.

Interesting question, eh?

Had a visitor earlier who Asked Jeeves when will a new moon be over Baghdad. According to the calendar on my wall, the new moon will be Monday, March 3 at 02:36 GMT, which works out to 6:36 PM EST. Which is just in time for the evening news--I figure there will be a few more things over Baghdad that night than just the new moon.

(Probably why this story says : "The lower house of the Russian parliament called on Friday for legislators from around the world to meet in Baghdad next month to discuss how to stave off a U.S. attack on Iraq -- a dramatic idea that seemed unlikely to materialize. [...] The measure, passed by a 377-1 vote in the 450-seat State Duma, called for countries to send parliamentary representatives to Baghdad on March 4-7 [...]")

"Sooner, not later," indeed.
