If youve shopped for flower at a dispensary more than once, youre familiar with this question: “Do you like sativas or indicas?” And if youre like me its the question that makes you roll your eyes, because:  1. Dont talk to me like a noob.  2. Indicas and sativas are real terms, but what they have come to represent is  absolute bs. Despite constantly being asked whether you like indicas o...

Yes, There’s a Girl Scout Cookie Surplus The Girl Scouts have traditionally dealt with cookie surpluses by “donating extra boxes to the military or to emergency medical workers.” The pandemic, and its aftermath, has led to all sorts of strange and once-in-a-lifetime weird occurrences in the economy, including a long list of strange shortages. There wasn’t enough lumber until eventually there was. Demand crashed for gasoline, before surging again. Labor remains in short supply. But it tu...

Keebler and the Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA) team up to introduce the brand’s first-ever flavored fudge-dipped ice cream cone. Each cone is dipped in a custom dark chocolate that features the same peppermint oil that you’ll find in the Girl Scouts cookie, so it will be as if you are biting into a Thin Mint — and you don’t even have to wait for a specific season to get the...

Dear Mama;  It’s been while since I’ve written. I’m sorry about that. As I get older, the hours and days slide away in an inglorious rush, days becoming weeks and weeks becoming months, until suddenly I’m looking at a landslide of many years, wondering how in the hell all that much time has passed.    It’s not that I don’t think about you. I think of you every single day. Sometimes it’s just something simple, like someone’s voice in a crowd echoing your sugar-swee...

Vaccinators at the Colonial Williamsburg Visitor Center clinic talk about serving the community with each vaccine dose.

Equally pretty in its own savory way, the food truck’s shrimp ’n grits pops with crimson gingerbeer barbecue sauce flecked with fatty, fabulous bits of pork.
