The Truth is Out There!
For a minute there, it seemed like society's obsession with aliens had become a thing of the past. Once the source of mass paranoia in the ‘50s and ’60s—a glorious, unforgettable time during which houses were even built to look like
flying saucers—the craze over little green men briefly disappeared, taking with it the kitschy, bizarre, and downright wild urban legends we came to know and love.
Luckily, with the release of the government’s report on Unexplained Aerial Phenomena earlier this year (results “inconclusive” … sure), we’ve seen quite the resurgence of interest in UFOs—and in the people who never stopped
believing the truth was out there.

This was way more fun than we thought!
Motorcycling is far more than a mere form of getting from Point A to Point B. For many, riding is a way of life, representing a rich and vast subculture that’s slowly evolved over the last century or so. Just like with those passionate about watches or whiskey, there’s a special language utilized by bikers that includes a slew of phrases and terms that have been developed over the years. And while one could
legitimately fill a book with every piece of biker or motorcycle-related lingo, we’ve pored over the enormous array to highlight and explain many of the most commonly used moto-words in this guide to the 100 terms that motorcycle riders need to know.

For our friend Tessa, the only person
we know that took on a squirrel!
In a bizarre story out of Wales, a squirrel embarked on a wild reign of terror wherein a staggering 18 people wound up being bitten by the suddenly pugnacious creature over the course of just two days! The very strange incident reportedly occurred in the town of Buckley where resident Corrine Reynolds had taken to feeding a grey squirrel that visited her backyard. What began as a wholesome 'friendship' soon turned
troubling when the animal nipped at her finger. Taking to a local Facebook group to warn others about the critter's aggressive behavior, Reynolds was stunned to find out that the squirrel had actually been tormenting the community.

If We Were Vampires
Jason Isbell
A Grammy Awards Best American Roots Song winner, "If We Were Vampires" is a stark admission of a truth we're rarely fully ready to face: Our time on this planet -- specifically, with the one we love the most -- is finite, and when all is said and done, one person is left behind.
"Maybe we'll get 40 years together," Isbell sings, "But one day, I'll be gone / Or one day, you'll be gone.

In the story of the Great Law of Peace, Hiawatha and the Peacemaker convince leaders of the Five Nations to literally bury the hatchet.
Tony Tekaroniake Evans
Centuries before the creation of the United States and its Constitution, democracy had already taken root in North America—among a handful of Indigenous nations. Known as the Iroquois Confederacy, or Haudenosaunee, this league of nations emerged among five northeast woodlands tribes that had been plagued by wars of retribution and violence for many generations.
