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."
-00.
And yes, I like zinnias.
Ok...I will mail them tomorrow!
My truck went into the shop today too. Ol' Man Winter did a snowplow on my exhaust system, and it's taken until now to get the rest of the fleet navigable so that I could get the muffler repairs.
Now it's running quietly again, so I guess I'm ready for them to send me to the emissions station.
Happy happy joy joy.
I’m grateful that Mr Bill is still running well. But then, I don’t do much driving, these days. ;o]
I would love to take a short trip to St. George, but I don’t know how my truck will do on those hills between here and Bunkerville, and then the Slot Canyon, which is all uphill on the way TO Utah.
So I need to see if a gasoline additive will improve the mileage and maybe the performance, as well. After that, I may check out St G.
I need to go get the tires rotated, and I also need a lube job and oil change done on it. It’s getting close to 2,000 miles between, so it’s time.
AND. I’m off to bed!
Hope you have a good night! I just got the last batch home from swimming. I’m about ready to crash, but I need to hang in another half hour or so until Kathleen and Frank can be sent to bed.
Sweet kitty!
It is 0108.
The last of our outdoor furbeasts FINALLY chose to come home.
Since this one is usually in shortly after dark, and there was a lone coy-o-tay in the northeast field howling at the moon earlier (shortly before dark..) there was a bit of concern.
Jake was on the doorstep in a snit this morning. The overnight people were supposed to get him in.

How’s it going, Sandy? Did you lose power yesterday?
“The overnight people ...” — people who are just visiting this time zone.
Or this space-time continuum.
*whew* she said.
I’m glad the kitteh found its way home. I would have been apprehensive, too, hearing to coy-o-tay howling at the moon.
We see them mostly in the early mornings. here.
Jake is having extreme sunbeam happiness now. He’ll probably sleep all day. Like, you know, a nocturnal carnivorous predator ...
I had a white cat with a right angle in his tail so it resembled a walking cane. Rightfully, we named him “Oddball.”
He also had mental problems. Poor fluffy.
Sometimes kittehs have inbred.
Looks pleasant!
Yes, that what I thought when I realized he truly was an oddball. He had special needs that I wasn’t equipped to deal with, having not been around kittehs like that.
So we took him to a shelter that did special needs, only.
