I had lived in Evansville, Indiana, all my life and had never been on board the USS LST-325

I was born in Evansville and had called this city my home all my life.

I managed to leave at some point on a gap year to travel.

But, I never wanted to stay anywhere else. My adoptive parents were delighted to hear I wanted to go to a local college and join the family business. We ran an AC repair and maintenance service that was doing quite well. My dad had begun the business years back and continued to be one of the most reliable HVAC suppliers in the city known for its brutal winters. Last summer, I had some time off work and school and decided to go on a city tour. A friend had been telling me about her escapades and places she never knew existed. I grew curious and began to become a tourist in my own home. Armed with a tour guide book, I set off one morning and found myself in line to board the USS LST-325. It was such a marvelous experience since it was a fully operational World War 2 vessel. How had I not been there before? Once inside, we all got a guided tour of the massive interior, and I saw several military buffs jumping for joy. I opted to pay more for an individual tour since I didn’t do too well in crowds. The guided experience lasted an hour, and I got to see lots of well-preserved World War 2 military weapons, documents, and pictures. We went to the main deck plus the sleeping quarters, where the soldiers would get a moment to rest before resuming their duties. I stopped at the gift shop on my way out and got some lovely World War 2 merchandise for my family and me.

Jessica wanted to know a little more about Denver, Colorado, before moving there

Nothing was going to take away from the thrill she felt inside about the move

Jessica was scouring the internet one day searching for a job. She felt she wanted a new experience and made sure her search was in other locations across the country. One link led her to a job opportunity in Denver, Colorado. After submitting her application, she got an email inviting her to a virtual interview since she was not in the city. The interview went great, and she got the job, so Jessica had to make arrangements to move to Denver within a month. All of this was happening so fast for her. Jessica did not know much about Denver apart from the fact that it was the capital of Colorado and quite a populous city. She decided to research the weather and if the area had good AC repair and maintenance companies. Jessica understood the value of a good aircon unit after living in the north all her life. Denver proved to be just the place she wanted to relocate to. According to history, in 1861, the Colorado territory was created, followed by the incorporation of Denver city later that same year. Today, the city is diversely populated and has 78 official neighborhoods. Jessica loved the fact that there were lots to do and see in the city. This would be her first move away from home, and she could not wait to start her new life. The climate was a bit different from the north, but the climate had some similarities. In terms of art and culture, Denver was a city oozing with both, making Jessica eager to make some new friends. Nothing was going to take away from the thrill she felt inside about the move. Even her folks were supportive.

I never knew that Bing Crosby lived in Spokane.

I was talking to my mom the other day and she was reading something online.

She turned to me and had a funny look on her face.

She said that she never knew Bing Crosby lived in Spokane, WA. Oh…okay; was my response since I had no idea who Bing Crosby was. She explained that when she was a kid, her mother was always watching movies that featured Bing Crosby and Bob Hope. She was surprised to read that his childhood home was in Spokane, WA. Since we were going to Spokane, WA for vacation, she wanted to visit his boyhood home. I was going so my best friend and I could hike on Mt. Spokane. I asked mom if she wanted to take a friend and go with us. She was looking for sites in Spokane that would interest her and her friend, Nancy. She wanted to see the Bing Crosby house, and look into some of the museums in the city. She looked at me oddly and asked why I chose to go to Spokane, WA. My friend, Bill, lived in Spokane, WA and he had invited us to come visit him for winter vacation. I knew that mom was lonely since dad passed away and I thought she may enjoy Christmas away from the house. She seemed excited as she talked about a hotel with good heating, but then I told her we would be staying at Bill’s home. I was sure he had excellent heating and air conditioning. That’s when I got the ‘big’ talk from mom, to warn me about men. We both laughed, since I was twenty-one years old.

A day of hiking will always help me clear my mind

Unless you look at the cartridge closely, there is virtually no way to tell the difference

I love going to the Petroglyph National Forest just outside of Albuquerque, New Mexico. I live in Albuquerque, but it still takes about forty minutes to get to the national park. Last summer, my mom bought me a national parks pass for my birthday because she knows how much I love going to the park to hike. Hiking clears my mind and helps me relieve stress. There are so many cool places to visit inside the national park including the volcanoes day use area. Since New Mexico legalized recreational cannabis, it’s easy to find a dispensary on the way to the national park. I never take anything that needs to be lit on fire, because that is a safety hazard. I don’t mind stopping at the cannabis shop to pick up a disposable vape pen. One particular marijuana shop carries several different live resin disposable vape pens. The place is only a couple of miles away from my apartment. They have a huge selection of vape pen supplies, batteries, and disposables. Disposable vape pens are perfect for a day of hiking because they don’t require a battery or a lighter. They are very easy to use and discreet. There isn’t much odor from vaping the live resin, so it’s hard for anyone to notice. Lots of people vape nicotine and the smell is very similar. Unless you look at the cartridge closely, there is virtually no way to tell the difference. That makes it the perfect option for spaces without privacy. Whenever I feel the need to clear my mind, hiking in the national forest is the perfect option.

The city and state parks of Tampa are beautiful

Tampa Bay weather is really difficult, especially during summer when heat plus humidity are at their highest.

My family plus myself moved to the Tampa Bay Area multiple months ago.

Every one of us are still not accustomed to the overall heat plus humidity. Outdoor humidity temperature can make it feel like for full digits everyday afternoon. When the guys plus myself went outdoor activities like going to the city and state parks of Tampa, we try to leave early before the weather is too uncomfortable and also sizzling. One favorite location we prefer to visit is the state park called Fort DeSoto. The offshore park has five keys that are the large island of Mullet Key, St. Jean key, fortune cookie, Madeline key, and Christopher key. The islands make up a large system called Fort Desoto State Park. It was used as a military camp and now it is a natural habitat. It’s a Wonderful location to take the kids during spring months when the temperatures are perfect. It can also be nice to go to the Tampa Bay parks during summer as long as you leave early during the morning hours. When lunch finally rolls around, it’s definitely time to leave and head somewhere else. An afternoon at the beach can quickly turn into problems if you aren’t prepared for afternoon temperatures with lots of water and sunscreen. On days like this when it is very hot, I absolutely prefer to stay home instead of going somewhere outdoors. That is the Tampa Bay way these days.
