Oh, hi there again.
Glad you're back.
A lot happened in Nadalanta last chapter, didn't it?
Mm hmm.
City council went from a snooze fest in one of them reality tv shows.
Bug partnered up with a former pastor and a new mayor, got the votes for his weed bill.
And then, of course, everyone started getting dollar signs.
In their eyes, Adelanto's property values started shooting up, especially in the new spot called the green zone.
Hmm.
Not to me.
Looks like some of those city council members might have taken advantage of the situation.
Anyhow, I think thats where things stand.
For a short while.
Bugs ambitious plan to save Adelanto from bankruptcy by legalizing cannabis cultivation seemed to be working.
Word about his questionable jet room deal hadnt gotten out yet.
And in the meantime, Bug was more than happy to take credit for all the optimism and new money pouring into town.
He'd even become a bit of a celebrity.
I'm going to be on primetime television in Paris, France, and also, I think.
