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.

Cow Tipping

Remember the cattle truck overtumping I mentioned yesterday? Well, here's the whole story from The Birmingham News. It happened at 3:45 instead of later, as I had thought. They showed some video on the local news and it was interesting to see them trying to round up the loose one. What I was even more fascinated by was the fact that they were able to find actual cowboys, who knew how to actually use a lasso, in such short notice. Another thing the story doesn't mention is that these weren't just plain old moo-cows--I'm not sure what kind of beeves they were, but they were lean and muscular, and the bulls had full horns. And they seemed very perturbed.
