Feet are finicky little things.

Or big things, if you happen to walk a lot.

The closer we are to danger, the farther we are from harm. It's the last thing the tsunami would expect.

Not sure if you know this or not, but it seems like a good place to ask.. If the tsunami had come while you were underwater, would you have been safer? How deep in the water does the water move?

In your article, you write:

In recent months, Syria’s government has tacitly acknowledged that hundreds of people have died in detention. Under pressure from Moscow, Damascus has confirmed the deaths of at least several hundred people in custody by issuing death certificates or listing them as dead in family registration files. The Syrian Network’s founder, Fadel Abdul Ghany, said the move sent citizens a clear message: “We won, we did this, and no one will punish us.”

This paragraph seems to suggest two motives for the official acknowledgement of the deaths of many in custody, namely, that it demonstrated their victory and strength, and that Moscow pressured them to do so. I'm wondering why Moscow would have pressured them to do so? And then on top of that, I'd also like to hear your thoughts on the current relationship between the U. S. and Russia insofar as Syria is concerned.

Thanks!

The wool socks would seem to imply that the cold resistance does not extend as easily to rhe extremities.. Is this the case, or did you just not want to take the chance of losing any sensitivity in your feet, considering how important they were for the task?
