This time last year, I was on a coach ride out of Ukraine to Warsaw, to board a flight to Istanbul, to drive down to newly liberated Aleppo through Idlib.
I fell asleep as rebels were pushing on past Homs towards Damascus. When I woke up, 53 years of Ba'athist rule was over.

When you get a new pair of high quality headphones, it's very important to "break them in" to unlock their full potential:
spill a cup of coffee on them
drop them on the floor 5-12 times
use them as a primitive sort of swiffer to collect a healthy coating of cat/dog/whatever pet you have's fur
