The Devolution begins

For the very first time since I have been a part of the Blogosphere Ecosystem I have seen my number of links decrease. Although I remain a possum scurrying to keep from being sucked back down to existence as a wharf rat or worse, I dropped 9 links overnight. I had already suspected this would occur.*

However, I was pleasantly surprise to find I actually was getting as many hits as my counter** shows I have gotten since I installed it. Now I am just wondering how many hits I would have on that counter if I had had it from the beginning.

*I can only surmise as to how many more readers I could draw if I could only get some mention by InstaPundit. Oh well, one is free to formulate pipedreams, are they not?

**I was over at DaGoddess and liked the way her counter looked so much better than the one I was using that I changed mine to Site Meter.

I shot up about a thousand places overnight.

Unfortunately, it's just a side effect of hosting Practical Penumbra on my server. I've fixed the problem, so tomorrow I too will devolve, in my case back down to a mere insect. Sniffle.

Ummmm, possums love insects!

Well, right now I'm still a snake, so keep your distance!

I surely will especially do that if I fall back down to being a wharf rat. Last time I was in the position, I was more worried about barn owls than snakes, but now I might be a snake target in the making.

Well, my devolution has taken place, but only as far as Slimy Mollusc. How do possums feel about molluscs?

I think I'll be an ocean quahog for the duration. (Not that I have any idea what an ocean quahog is. I just like the name.)

I am pretty sure that although they might like ocean quahogs, possums do not swim very well so would only find one if they washed up on the shore. That seems unlikely since ocean quahogs live pretty far offshore: ocean quahogs
