[Alas Babylon!]

Thanks!

I had a rough week! I taught a very difficult class for the past 6 days.

When it was over yesterday, I ate supper, made the guest list, (while also watching Alabama Roll Tide Roll) and went to bed soon after.

Woke up late, too. Hence the thread getting posted late.

Yawn. More coffee!

Thanks for the thread A.B., and sorry that you and I still have to work for a living (Tip: Buy lottery tickets).

Auburn almost did it, but now the Tigers are heralded as the Second Coming with their 3rd string Ohio State QB.

You’re terrific for posting these at all! Thanks! Hope the coffee helps!

For some reason, I awoke at 5:30 a.m., got up, read FR while drinking coffee and listening to Moneverdi's Orpheo.

Hope your morning's beautiful and your day will be splendid!

Here's something you may or may not have missed.

Seems President Trump got tired of the CIA tipping off al Baghdaddi,leader of the ISIS/CIA chaos organization which has been running roughshod over everyone for years now.Created by the CIA in Syria a few years ago the group has made news over and over.Some of their wickedness has included savage be-headings and lowering people in cages and setting them on fire.

Trump got tired of watching CIA tip off Baghdadi every time the good guys figured out where he was and sent planes over to bomb the crap out of him but never seemed to find him there.
So Trump did his own op and we have one dead ISIS leader with cooperation from many in the region.Seems locals got tired of the CIA/ISIS terror group that has killed so many and wreaked havoc in the region and got the job done.
