The leftovers are gone, rent is due, and I am Googling ways to feel hope even though everywhere I look there are dead leaves. One idea I’ve had is welcoming paganism into my heart and becoming someone who listens to trees and talks to animals and shit. That’s what the Yuletide season is all about, right? Bone broth kinda stuff. I could make a great cottagecore Viking warlock, I think, even though I live in New York City. I’ve seen a few rats in my backyard and a raccoon rifling through the garbage. I am ready to befriend them or else conquer them, like a Park Slope Beowulf (I never read it). And now I present, the story of today’s newsletter. One December, in Flagstaff, Arizona, as meteors streamed through the sky, a happy-go-lucky stoner decided to get his weed delivered. Suddenly, a rogue lawn mower plowed through his door, knocking it off its hinges. “What the hell are you doing here?” he asked the shocked lawn-mowing intruder. “I took a wrong turn in the cross-country lawn-mowing race, sorry!” the intruder exclaimed, before going into his pocket and throwing the stoner a variety of incredible CBD products, and going on his way. The End. Incredible, right? I’ll talk to you tomorrow, at which point I will have gone full paleo Renaissance faire whackjob. Ciao, [-Ned Riseley, Newsletter Contributor]( [ [( news [] [The Geminids Are Coming]( If I could go back in time, I’d form a baroque punk band in high school and call it The Geminids. But this isn’t about me, it’s about the sky. The Geminids are the meteor shower that you’re gonna be able to see this month. December isn’t the most active, astronomically speaking, but there are a few cool things to check out with your telescope nonetheless. I am really seeking some new things to look at, personally, since I can’t really get out that much, so looking up at the sky and imagining my life as a formless astronomical entity is pretty appealing. Ground control to Major Geminid. [] [Space Oddities]( [( [( travel [] [Get Your Kicks in Mountainous Arizona]( Have you heard of Flagstaff, Arizona? It’s a special little city that boasts Arizona’s tallest mountain, its biggest ski mountain, and some amazing food and dining experiences. There’s even a Nordic village where you can rent lodging, which sounds really in keeping with my new lifestyle. I plan to wrestle a bear, kill it for the skins, and carry it on my bag until I reach the Arizona Nordic Village. There, I will drink nothing but mead until I become belligerent and woozy. That is when I will know I have found the pagan life. [] [Take Me to Flagstaff]( [( *Sponsored Ads List [( food & drink [] [Love Pot? Try Lovepot]( Lovepot is the florist that will bring you flowers AND weed, one of the most delightful combinations in history. Cut the stems of a beautiful arrangement and get absolutely blazed, staring at them until you feel like you yourself are a beautiful and unique flower arrangement—fragrant, fragile, and one of a kind. I love the concept, I love the straightforward name. I love Lovepot. [] [Crimson and Clover]( [( [( podcast [] [Thrillist’s New Podcast Is Here]( And it’s all about a cross-country lawn mower race. Well, actually, it’s about a bunch of people who have traveled huge distances in unorthodox ways. Think Rat Race (remember that movie with Jon Lovitz and Mr. Bean?) but with lawn mowers… or running… or other stuff? Thrillist Explorers host Wil Fulton talks to a bunch of fascinating guests about their long-distance adventures. You aren’t gonna wanna miss it.

This time we’re talking about Soul CBD, which has a bunch of different varieties of CBD to keep you calm, cool, and collected. Did you know there were CBD bath bombs? I didn’t. I only recently learned that there were regular bath bombs. Get yourself some CBD! Or get some CBD for that person in your life who you just wish would RELAX, GODDAMNIT. Sorry, I didn’t mean to yell.
