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.

Oooh--Sparkly!

'Nother new section for the Institute of Official Cheer--A Salute to Bygone Signage!

(Just a tip, Mr. Lileks, but us old codgers with antiquated, non-robust browsers and severe myopia and astigmatism can barely make out the dim red lightbulb titles and directional buttons--change the bulbs to some white ones, or better yet, get some of that new-fangled neon.)

THIS JUST IN--An update from Possumblog's Land of 10,000 Lakes Correspondent Toni Albani, who by virtue of living up on The Range gets to listen in to Mr. Lileks when he does Hugh Hewitt's radio show:

Yesterday, in talking about Hillary's book Lileks comes up with this droll comment: Of course she was gasping for air; any middle aged, out of shape woman would be gasping for air after beating her husband senseless.

Indeed.

Anyway, thanks to Toni for sending that in, even though she may protest that it's only a paraphrase, it is certainly less made-up than some things that you might read in the paper!
