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.

Ladies and Gentlemen...BELTSVILLE!!

Yes, yes--I know I just said I wasn't going to get to play in here anymore today, but I just got an interesting bit of info from Dr. Weevil's not-quite-evil brother Steevil:
On my way into work this morning, I saw a rather beat up station wagon with Mass. plates and a bumper sticker saying, "I will fear no weevil." The car exited the Baltimore-Washington parkway near Beltsville, so I assume the driver is an entomologist on a summer fellowship at the USDA Agricultural Research Center.
That, or in a more sinister vein, an operative sent to destroy the Axis of Weevil! (Made even worse by being a Masshole!) Steevil, your assignment is to track him down and foil his nefarious scheme!!
Note to Terry: Our farming cousins in Illinois only find my working at NASA impressive because it puts me near Beltsville.
Well, yeah. I mean, rocket science is okay and all, but have you read that paper about Polyvalent Cation Effects on myo-inositol hexakis dihydrogenphosphate Enzymatic Dephosphorylation in Dairy Wastewater!? Man alive, it's a real whimdoozy!

Anyway, I really, REALLY have work to get done!

Really.
