North America's only Marsupial is not Fast at all....

The other morning on my ride out of Dooleyville a possum(opossum) ambled slowly like an elderly person across the road in front of me. Its pace was slower than Hi Doll's but she is like 92 years old. When the hairy creature made it into the grass I laid my bike down and took out the camera to start the document. This fine specimen of North America's only MARSUPIAL slowly climbed up into the crotch of a what was I believe a Dogwood Tree. I was face to face with this black eyed creature as I hurried to set the white balance. My fumbling around gave the possum a chance to climb higher and the great shot I thought I was going to have was gone. Instead I settled for what you are seeing here as the animal climbed on up to get further away from the big mean man.
Then all of a sudden a tidal wave of thought entered my brain housing Group! A virtual light bulb over my head illuminated the collision of clouds in the brain storm centered in my cerebral cortex. Give me fever so I can cure the sick-Fast Marsupial is contradiction! I cannot believe it took this practical application of synchronicity and observation to make me realize the Fast Marsupial Hypocrisy. But wait, as slow as the Marsupial is, it is fast and strong within the context of which it is applied. This post just keeps getting more interesting as it goes. I hope you have been entertained by the way I figured out that a Fast Marsupial really does not exist except for one reported case in Tennessee.

very unusal to see one in a tree... generally, they're spied somewhat flattened on the road!
