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."
OK. You win. But I’m still stuck on the old B&W Sherlocks. However, Robert Downey, Jr. did an excellent job as Sherlock in his movies, but for the life of me, I don’t recall who played Watson. Huh. My bad.

Nigel Bruce. :)
Good morning! I was going through the music for the Spanish Mass with Elen. I’m not sure who will be there. Asuncion texted me to say (I think) that her granddaughter has been born. She said “nuera” instead of “nieta,” but the letters are next to one another: u by i and r by t.
The baby is early, I believe, but not not dangerously so.
I love Hello Cthulhu.
Yes with Basil Rathbone, (or Razzle Bathbone) but who for Robert Downey, Jr? My brains are trying to rust up with the showers we’re having off and on.

Jude Law?
Mess ye not with the Geek and the Nurd...For the Electrons are their friends.
Glad you like the t-shirts. You can imagine that you’ve been places ;-). Of course, you have been places ...
Probably. Too simple for me to remember. :o|
Thanks.
Yes, I have been places, but not those places! LOL!
Now you can imagine that you been.
Who isn't?
But I don't think today's moviegoers would appreciate the plot. Too little in the way of special effects, and an Artificial Intelligence? That's so ho-hum these days.
The movie to make with today's technology is Larry Niven's "Ringworld".
Nancy Reagan has died. She was very old.
Ringworld, yes!
Yes, it was just on the news. I wondered how long she would live after Ronald Reagan passed away, as she was so devoted to and protective of him.
I’m having a hard time staying awake, for some reason. Maybe I’ll make some coffee and then go sit outside and wait for Charlie to show up.
FYI: The artisan bread was awesome! and so easy to make it’s scary. Of course, I’ll make more....
If you want the recipe, I will be happy to give it to you. No kneading! Of course, now I have to buy more flour. This loaf of bread broke the flour bank. :o]
The end of an era.
Do you remember the pictures when Nancy first met Raisa? Ronnie and Mikhail both had the Manners to let the Ladies Steal the show.
Obama would somehow get his hand in front of the Camera.
Boom
