I can’t imagine surviving a summer in Cocoa without my air conditioner running daily

Despite the perks, Cocoa is really hot in the summer.

I went to college up north and hated the frigid winter seasons and the ice and snow that made driving particularly dangerous at times. If you weren’t careful, you could inadvertently walk onto a patch of ice on a sidewalk, slip, fall, and suffer a serious bone fracture. This happened to my best friend’s mother during our last year of college, and after several surgeries she was finally on her feet again. I had the chance to stay in that state for graduate school, but I instead sought to move further southward where average temperatures are much warmer. It’s not hard to please me and I would have been satisfied moving to inland Georgia, but I was lucky enough to find a graduate school program in Cocoa, Florida. It’s cool living so close to both the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station and the Kennedy Space Center. My classes in elementary school took field trips to both space stations and I was amazed looking at the rockets and space shuttles. Despite the perks, Cocoa is really hot in the summer. I can only survive in 100 degree weather if I have a good air conditioner running at all times. I can’t spend all of my days out at Cocoa Beach even if I had the place to myself. We found a good HVAC supplier in Cocoa West for our initial air conditioner installation and we have been using this company since. It was great having the opportunity to buy an annual HVAC maintenance contract at a reduced rate because of my new-customer status with the company.

Shoreline Park day

If you’re looking for something to do in Santa Barbara I recommend Shoreline Park.

You will get everything you want there.

With magnificent views of the city, coastline and Santa Ynez Mountains, there are plenty of photo opportunities. Once you are in the park there is no shortage of fun. Play in the waves with your dog or kids. There are playgrounds available that actually are clean, safe and great for the kids. There are even picnic tables and BBQs at the park. It is easy, cheap and a fun day out for the whole family. My family goes a few times a year. Sometimes it is more of a beach day for us. The kids play in the water, make sandcastles and then we all go home a little burnt. Sometimes it is more of a relaxing grill day. My husband will bring meat and I will bring fresh seafood from the market. The kids will fly kites, kick a soccer ball or play tag nearby. Then we all have a freshly made dinner at one of the picnic tables. It makes for a good family day. It isn’t expensive and everyone has fun. Another perk of the park is along the way there is a cannabis shop my husband and I like to go to. I usually drop him off, run some errands with the kids and then pick my husband back up. We don’t tell the kids we are getting recreational weed to smoke later. It is not like we are hiding it, but I don’t want to advertise doing something fun they aren’t allowed to try.

Three heaters but no AC

I have never owned an air conditioner before.

I have of course experienced it.

I have been in cars with AC, movie theaters and restaurants. I really don’t like the feeling of cold air blowing all over me. It seems gross and uncomfortable. Air conditioning kind of has a weird smell to it too. My house is outfitted with three heating systems but no AC. I have a gas fireplace in the living room, a ventless heater in the kitchen and the upstairs bedrooms have their own electric heating device. Why do I need so much heating power? In Glenview Illinois it gets cold. It can get as cold as 15 degrees in January. Around Easter time the cold still lingers in the 40-50 range. I don’t mind running the heaters most of the year. There is something so comforting about having quality heat and burrowing under a blanket. Once May comes around, the weather really changes for the better. I feel my area has the best kind of weather. It is a light jacket and warm shorts. I don’t even sweat to death and feel like it is difficult to breathe. In the summer months the temperatures might dip into the 80s. I have an old box fan that I bring down from the attic when that happens. Most of the time I just enjoy the fact that I don’t have any HVAC going. I can open my windows and have clean air blowing into the home. I really don’t know how people in Texas and California can handle the heat.

We didn’t need a dehumidifier to get the job done

After only a few days, the entire container was filled with water

My wife and I were cleaning the garage on Saturday, because we wanted to make room for one of the cars. Tampa crime rates are up and three cars were vandalized in our neighborhood last week. The Tampa Bay police department asked a lot of questions and the county police were here too. I hate living in Tampa, but my wife works at the Aquarium. We previously had a lot of junk stored in the garage. There were boxes all over the place. We had Christmas, Halloween, and Easter decorations. We had old boxes of stuff from when the children were little. When we started moving boxes around, my wife noticed some mold and condensation near the windows of the garage. She immediately freaked out and thought we needed to buy a dehumidifier. I try to make my wife feel more calm by offering some advice and assistance. I honestly didn’t think a dehumidifier was necessary, but I thought the mold and humidity was likely an issue. We sprayed down the walls with a bleach solution and I wiped them down with antibacterial wipes. After that, I purchased a huge one gallon tub of damprid. This is a really cool product that helps soak up moisture. After only a few days, the entire container was filled with water. I might need to buy one or two more before all of the moisturize is gone, but this solution is a lot cheaper than paying a Tampa heating and air conditioning company to help with the problem. The weekend rates are through the roof.

The cannabis delivery driver got lost

My friends and I were staying in Oakland, because we had a work convention in San Francisco.

We didn’t want to stay in San Francisco and the accommodations in Oakland were cheaper.

It was easy to jump across the bridge and a quick 20 minute commute. We saved about 50 bucks per night for our accommodations. I used some of that money to buy recreational cannabis. I wanted to attend the conference and convention in San Francisco because of the recreational marijuana laws. I rarely get to enjoy recreational marijuana at home, but I do every time I get the chance on a work trip. My wife would probably go berserk if she knew I was using marijuana while on my work trip. My friends and I got together one night and we all ordered from the recreational cannabis dispensary. I ordered a few pre-rolled marijuana joints and my friends got some edible treats. We decided to have the items delivered, since it did not cost anything extra. I looked at the map and the dispensary was only 2 mi away from our hotel, so I didn’t expect it would take very long to receive our items. After 45 minutes, we received a telephone call from the cannabis delivery driver. He was lost and trying to find the address of our hotel. He was actually right around the corner and had the wrong address. We gave him some Landmark directions and he quickly found our location. We met the delivery driver downstairs so he wouldn’t have to get out of the car and waste anymore time on our delivery.

This city never goes to sleep

Wednesday is the day when I get paid at work, but I always wait until Friday to go to the cannabis shop.

Everything in the cannabis shop is on sale on Fridays and I save 20%.

There aren’t a lot of dispensaries that still offer 20% savings, especially here in San Francisco. It is easily one of the most expensive places to live. My friends and I can only afford to live in San Francisco because we share an apartment and sleep on bunk beds. Of course, we get to enjoy the perks of living in the city. San Francisco is an amazing place to live and there are a number of fun activities. The wharf, alcatraz island, and whale watching are just a few. The beach is close to the apartment, but still an hour drive because of traffic and the bridge. When my friends and I go to the beach, it is an all day affair and we never feel like going anywhere at the end of the day except back home. Thankfully, we can have everything delivered right to our front door. There are about a dozen different restaurants that offer free delivery in less than an hour and we can even order marijuana and have it delivered in an hour. I know it’s hard for some people to understand why I would give up so much of my privacy to live in the city, but it’s worth it when you get to enjoy all of the rich culture of San Francisco. One day I will settle down and live a boring life, but that day is not today.

Like it or now, Breaking Bad has been good for Albuquerque

Some people really hate it, but the truth is that the TV show Breaking Bad has had a huge financial impact on the city of Albuquerque New Mexico.

Long before that show came along, this was the biggest and greatest city in this state, but you can’t help but agree that the show raised our visibility to whole new levels.

We will never be a major metropolitan hub like New York or Atlanta (which is good because we don’t want that) but thanks to Breaking Bad, Albuquerque has experienced an unprecedented boom in tourism and interest. We used to be a great city, but now we are a great city that is relevant in pop culture and entertainment circles. Over the course of several seasons, Breaking Bad told very dark and violent stories, but they played out in front of the beautiful landscapes surrounding Albuquerque, giving the show such a wondrous sense of beauty. The starkness of the violence and evil seemed even worse, because the skies of Albuquerque are amongst the most picturesque in the entire world. It almost seemed like the city of Albuquerque itself was a character, a presence, on that show. That presence has carried over, because the newer show Better Call Saul is also set here in ABQ, as was the Netflix original movie El Camino. Like I was saying, a lot of people in Albuquerque don’t like being associated with that show, but thanks to Walter White tens of thousands of tourists a year flock to our city to relive the highs and lows of Breaking Bad, and these folks also tend to visit our amazing local cannabis dispensaries. .

Denver has more cannabis dispensaries than Starbucks

Did you ever hear the story of how Denver, Colorado got its name? It goes way back before this was even a town, when it was just a mining community. The locals decided to change the name from St, Charles, because they wanted to coerce the Governor James W Denver to make this place the county seat. Here is the funny part — the locals did not know that James Denver had already resigned as governor, so their attempt to sway him didn’t work. Back then Denver was a very different place, full of saloons, gambling houses, and brothels to cater to all of the local miners. Thanks to the gold rush, the population of the Denver area went from approximately zero to approximately 200,000 in the span of twenty years. Although the gambit for approval from James Denver didn’t play out, I think it’s safe to say that this city has done pretty well for itself over the years. To be honest the name doesn’t even matter, because I think if our name was still St. Charles we would be just as large and successful as Denver has become. Why? Simply put, Denver has the best community in the country, no matter what you call it, this is a great place to live filled with amazing people. Another great thing about Denver is the proliferation of amazing cannabis dispensaries. In the Mile High City there are more cannabis dispensaries than there are Starbucks coffee houses, and if you ask me that is something that should be well and truly celebrated!

Walking tours of Seattle

Halloween is over, and once again I am a little depressed about that.

I have always been a freak for Halloween, and I mean I decorate my entire house for the spooky season on September 1st of every year! When November arrives, I pack it all up and get back to boring, normal reality.

Because I live in Seattle it is a little bit harder, because it seems like this whole city goes nuts for Halloween in the best possible way. No matter when you visit Seattle, I highly recommend you take one of the many tours we have here. There are walking tours, hiking tours in the surrounding forests, boat tours on the Puget Sound, and of course the more traditional driving tour. Once October rolls around it seems like every neighborhood offers some kind of spooky or haunted tour, because Seattle has such a rich depth of history to back it up. Even though I am a local, I still checkout a different Haunted Seattle tour every yeast, sometimes more than one. I usually walk away having learned some little nugget of Seattle history along the way. It helps being stoned, of course, but Seattle is just as well regarded for its local cannabis as it is history. Usually the haunted walking tours of downtown Seattle are the best, because I can stop by one of the many awesome cannabis dispensaries that are on the way. It doesn’t matter which tour, in Seattle there is always a cannabis dispensary nearby. Check the website for the Seattle tour nearest to your hotel.
