Time for another list, but this one’s even more useless than the others….

5. Dogs. You don’t see too many here in Aleppo, but it sure is nice when you do.

4. Camels. Supposedly they have camels-a-plenty in Palmyra, but I have yet to verify.

3. Cats. The funniest thing about the stray cats is that they’re all very dirty. They look like they’re covered in inches of dust. American cats would’ve cleaned themselves before they got that bad, but it’s like these cats just gave up on life. Maybe things would be better for them if they had Kitty Prozac.

1. This one’s a tie between the lion and giraffe, but you won’t get me telling that story just yet.
