Too quiet.
I guess I'll have to shake things up.

Raqqa, Syria
Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant, also known as ISIS, announced today that he would be disbanding all forces and returning all land to Syria and Iraq. The move was prompted by the ongoing Climate Conference in Paris.
"This is one thing we could not have anticipated," Mr. al-Baghdadi said in prepared remarks. "When we see the world coming together like this on such a dangerous subject as Global Climate Change, we realize that our Caliphate will never survive. It's only a matter of time before Climate Change is no more and the world's attention turns to us. At that point, we will have no chance. For the sake of the men, women, and children who have supported us, I can not continue a doomed campaign."
An emotional al-Baghdadi did not take any questions.
Sources close to al-Baghdadi who spoke on the condition of anonymity told us that it was becoming more and more difficult to recruit new fighters. "Even our existing people are extremely demoralized," one said. "The words of Donald Trump himself can not overcome our dispair."
According to their press release, surrender is total and immediate. Fighters are being paid and sent home by division. Any remaining money will be put into a fund to resettle Christians and Yazidis who have been displaced by the war.
"We thought the world was fragmented," one strategist was overheard saying to himself. "Who knew it could come together like this? This is a stinging rebuke."
So far there has been no comment from Damascus, Baghdad, Moscow, or Washington. One source inside the Kremlin said, "We are waiting to see if there will be any follow-up action. We want to make sure this is real before we decide on our next steps."
If your youngest is anything like mine, the Mad can last up to six years.
I wish you luck on that.
I was awakened just before 0400 with a ginormous cramp in my left leg. I usually get them in my right one, but this one was trying to kill me, I’m sure. It was a conspiracy, and that’s the truth!
I’m on my third migraine in 3 days. I’ve mostly outgrown them so I only get a little visual confusion that then clears up with a very mild headache to follow. This headache is bad enough I’m seriously considering going home.
Too quiet.
I guess I'll have to shake things up.
Sorry about your family ruction. I hope it’s a quiet week for the sanitation business.
Back from the mall. The Disney Store was having a clearance, so Kathleen got another Sofia nightgown (cheaper than Walmart) and Sofia’s flying horse.
I’m so sorry about your migraine! I’ve lived with them since I was eight years old, and if there is anything I understand, it’s migraines.
Go home and take care of you.
Those were good.
I just came inn from being at the table with the peeps. It was a little cold, but the wind wasn’t blowing, so we lasted about 45 minutes.
I need to box up the computer and get the label on. It’s due for pickup sometime tomorrow between 0800 ad 2000. *groan*
Saturday, I got a Christmas card from one of my nieces, and she has more gray hair than I do. I told my daughter and she really laughed. They moved from Tucson to Meridian ID a couple of years ago. From the sublime to the ridiculous.
I didn’t mean to post that...
I was going to say, when I go to Walmart in the morning, I will look for some Christmas cards before all the good ones are gone.
And I mean to post this one.
Well, my headache’s mostly gone so I’ll stick around.
There’s a snow alert for today. I think they’re only expecting a wintry mix but we’ll still get ready.
Probably just to make sure our budget doesn’t get cut next year or something.
I found out that the DSNY salt piles are de-facto homeless shelters. I hope we never accidentally load anyone into a spreader.
Big year in England, I think.
First football season leading up to a Superbowl or something like that.
Or am I thinking of 1966. They’re pretty close on the keyboard.
As they say.. "Close enough for Government work..."
... while adding"They'll never see in in (insert location of company headquarters).."
Government work is an oxymoron.
Just shoot me!
Has your headache gone away? I hope?
Here’s hoping you get a good night’s rest.
