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.

Speaking of scary...Alabama's ghosts coming to library
LISA OSBURN
News staff writer

Just in time for Halloween, Alabama's haunted places will be the topic of discussion tonight at the North Shelby Library on Alabama 119.

Alan Brown, professor at the University of West Alabama, will present "Hoodoo, Haints and Horror: Alabama's Historically Haunted Places" at 6:30 p.m.

Sloss Furnaces, the Homewood Public Library and the Linn-Henley Building in downtown Birmingham are some of the locations to be discussed, Brown said.

Many people have heard ghost stories about Sloss Furnaces, but not all of them are legitimate, Brown said.
Yeah, 'cause you know, some ghost stories are REAL!!
"So many people make up things, like the ghost they made up on the Internet," he said. [...]
I just can't believe anyone would actually MAKE UP a ghost story!! Why, that's just terrible!!

Anyway, those of you in town with some time to spare might want to check him out.
