| 0:00.0 | New Year, new me. Nah. I'm fine just the way I am. Doing the things I love. Like enjoying |
| 0:07.7 | a latte on the bus with some music or on a walk with a friend. My only resolution is |
| 0:14.8 | to enjoy more of what I love. Like switching up my usual with oat, soy, almond or coconut. |
| 0:22.0 | All delicious non-dairy alternatives available at Starbucks. For no extra charge. While stocks |

| 0:35.2 | away at 90. All across Cuba, people prepared for a seven day period of pretending to mourn while |
