Possumblog

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.

Updates

I have been remiss in not keeping up with folks, and while all the rest of you have already updated your links to Matthew Stinson's A Fearful Symmetry, I'm just now getting around to it. Apologies.

AND there's a new addition of Kim Crawford's Velociblog. Kim lives down in the Sunshine State and stumbled in here last week sometime and fell atop a heap of Erskine Caldwell, which prompted him to opine about the author of Tobacco Road:

[...] Caldwell has the burden of creating the tobacco road white trash creature that was easily lampooned, but few scholars ever looked through the castigation and found the heart in Caldwell. And that's too damned bad. All of us, ultimately, have a Jeter Lester in our heritage, the issue is how do you deal with that? [...]

Equal parts love, hate, envy and revulsion.
