I wanted to visit the Denver Zoo as soon as I moved here from Florida.
I grew up in Tampa and was able to visit the Lowry Park Zoo on at least seven different occasions.
However, I was sick of the hot, subtropical climate of western Florida. When I saw job postings in Denver in company memos, I put my name in for consideration. Now that I’m living in Denver full time, I have mixed emotions. For one, it’s extremely cold in Denver for a good portion of the year. Temperatures start dropping as early as September and we have winter weather that lasts until March most years. There is lots of snowfall and the roads around the University of Denver need to be plowed regularly so it doesn’t impede the flow of traffic. My apartment in Virginia Village gets really cold in the winter because the insulation isn’t nearly as good as it should be. But in the summer season, you can readily enjoy outdoor attractions like the Denver Zoo without the risk of frostbite. Whenever I go to the Denver Zoo, I always pack a cannabis vaporizer pen in my pocket. These little pen vaporizers have voltage control on them so you can vary the heat going to the coil. The coil vaporizes the cannabis distillate oil inside the cartridge in the pen vaporizer. The whole device easily fits in my pocket and can be concealed in places like the Denver Zoo or the Denver Botanic Gardens. I love nothing more than seeing all of the animals while I have a slight THC buzz going on in my head. And if you go on a day when the weather outside is pleasant, it’s even better.
