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.

Meth lab tools found in dorm

Two students and a young man were being held on drug charges Wednesday after police found methamphetamine lab equipment in a University of Alabama at Birmingham residence hall.

University police arrested Sarah Suzanne Forrest, 21, of Boynton Beach, Fla.; Derrick Michael Vann, 22, of Trussville; and James William Phillips, 23, of Hueytown, Tuesday night on charges of possession of controlled substances and drug paraphernalia. Police turned the case over to the Drug Enforcement Administration on Wednesday morning. Forrest is a junior with an undeclared major and Phillips is studying biology at UAB.

UAB police were alerted after someone reported Forrest smoking in her non-smoking room. Birmingham DEA agent Greg Borland said the clandestine response team found glassware, chemicals and other materials used in making methamphetamine in the suite. Included were two three-neck flasks which are illegal to possess and carry a minimum sentence of five years upon conviction, he said. [...]

Wow, I bet they get in trouble with the dorm manager, too, for having a hotplate!

(NO, I don't knowt he guy from Trussville. Although I'm sure his parents are very proud of all the stuff he learned in chemistry class.)
