My childhood home was so close to the Pacific ocean that we could throw a rock from the front yard and hit the water. I didn’t live in a small town, so much as a cluster of houses outside a small town. There were a couple of gravel roads, the entrance to a series of logging trails, and a couple of small businesses. I have to say that there are a lot worse places to grow up than in rural Oregon. I loved it there until I was a teenager, at which point I started yearning to see more of the world. Soon after I moved to Portland, OR, and never traveled much further, because I never got tired of exploring the city. I will admit that Portland is not the perfect city for everyone, but it is for me! The politics here lean towards the liberal, but personally I like a multicultural approach to society, and Portland is very inclusive. The music scene, indeed the entire nightclub scene including music and comedy, is vibrant and alive in Portland, a stark contrast to the dismal weather. Portland has also become pretty famous for it’s locally grown cannabis, which is how I make my living. I started working at the cannabis dispensary for the employee discount, but somehow it turned into a career and now I run the place. Although I do miss watching the sun set over the ocean, I have to say that Portland has become my home, and I will never leave… at least not for very long.

I had a misconception that California was the only destination for jobs within the information technology sector, but I was wrong.

Seattle, Chicago, Houston, and Dallas all top current lists of cities with huge technology industries, although there are many more. A friend of mine from college is now working as a coder and web designer for a company based out of Kansas City, Missouri. He said that it isn’t Silicon Valley, but he met a partner there and they’re soon to be married—so he has nothing to complain about. I looked at a number of different cities for job openings within my specialties and eventually I settled on Albuquerque, New Mexico. Although I only have a small amount of Native American ancestry, it makes me incredibly proud living in a city like Albuquerque that retains so much of its native history, architecture, and community. I cannot lie, one of the other reasons why I love this city is having access to both medical and recreational cannabis. My technology sector job provides me with an income large enough to afford products like cannabis concentrates and edibles. The quality pay, the access to potent cannabis, and my connection to the native history here are all reasons that keep me in this area. But the last piece in the puzzle is the Sandia Mountain range and the amazing Sandia Peak Tramway that takes visitors up 3,813 feet above the Albuquerque skyline below. It’s both terrifying and breathtaking, as it’s normal for me to experience intense vertigo just from using Google Earth of all things.

When I was a kid, I first heard about the monster in the woods.

Where I live, in the middle of Michigan, we were surrounded by deep, dense forests.

It was only natural that there were a host of scary stories we told about the woods. Several grown ups I talked to at the time claimed to have seen Bigfoot in those woods at one point or another. Maybe they were just messing with me, but I believed them. It helped foster my love of horror stories, and guided me towards my dream of making horror movies right here in Ann Arbor, Michigan. What I could not have predicted was that my attempt at a horror movie would evolve into a look at the lore and mythology of cannabis farmers in the woods around Ann Arbor. I was fascinated to learn that all of the Bigfoot legends around Ann Arbor were the result of misinformation released by the cannabis farming community. Pot farmers don’t traditionally work together, it’s a very cut throat business, but the Ann Arbor growers decided that if they spread Bigfoot rumors and scared people away, they had less of a chance of being discovered. To me, this concept was much more interesting than that of a monster in the Ann Arbor forests, so I ran with it. One of the cannabis farmers actually told me that he got the idea from an old episode of Scooby Doo! Although my documentary never made me famous, it was a big hit around Ann Arbor, and still gets screened in cannabis dispensaries from time to time.

We found a spot away from the bridge and the people and we smoked the entire marijuana joint

My wife does not like to spend money, so we always discuss major purchases. We didn’t buy a new car until both of us agreed it was the right time. We didn’t buy electric bikes until they were on sale. I wanted an electric bike for many months, but they were very expensive and a sale made them much more affordable. One of the first places that my wife and I decided to take the bikes was Golden Gate Bridge. Golden Gate Bridge has a very nice walking and bicycle path that traverses the entire span of the bridge. The past is well-maintained and allows pedestrians and cyclists to get a wonderful view of the San Francisco Bay and the city. My wife and I parked our car in the area north of the bridge. We cycled across the bridge and stopped on the other side for a drink and a snack. We also smoked a recreational marijuana joint. My wife brought the recreational marijuana joint from the house. I didn’t know she had a marijuana joint in her bag and I thought it was an awesome surprise. We found a spot away from the bridge and the people and we smoked the entire marijuana joint. I felt very happy and carefree after we smoked the marijuana joint. We finished our bike ride in San Francisco and left the city before traffic was backed up at the end of the day. Our day in San Francisco was a lot of fun and the electric bikes held up well after riding for 15 miles.
