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.

Hill and another inmate helped Montevallo police retrieve stolen mailboxes from the bottom of Spring Creek from Police Officer Mark Allred's boat.

"I'll do about anything to get out of the cell," Hill, 24, of Brierfield said after changing to a dry orange jumpsuit. Hill is serving time on a DUI.

About 15 mailboxes were stolen or damaged Saturday night from Indian Highlands, Ashville Circle and Hidden Valley, said Montevallo police Lt. Baird Pickett. Those neighborhoods all lie near Spring Creek. [...]

Oooh. Fishing FOR mailboxes.

Wonder how they taste?
