  Fragments From Floyd — Authority: 111
  ☐  Unheard of: A january morning and we don’t need a fire in the stove. Last I heard, we will pay in February for our month-long January thaw.

• What’s Up in the 8th

  
  The Briefcase — Authority: 104

• Potpourri to Smoke

  
  Home and Garden — Authority: 149
  Just to be clear, the level of potpourri to smoke to acquire high is not the kind that you put in a little pot with a few water and boil to create the room smell nice. That style of potpourri is nice, but it won’t allow you to get high, and if a person inhales that potpourri smoke it will probably make you sick. ...
