You cannot believe what has been going on here the past few days. This is the last Friday of the month, so, yep: nut shipment. I have to be on the loading dock when it arrives and especially today, to make sure the order is cut by two thirds. The Loam Sweet Loam section has squeezed out the nut bins (including the macadamias, thank God!) and I show up at 7 a.m., even before Gus. And who is there waiting for me? THE FEDS.
There’s three agents from the Drug Enforcement Agency plus two city cops who serve me a search warrant for Chakra ’n’ Awe. They tell me Mary Lou is in jail in Albuquerque, charged with drug trafficking, and I’m thinking two things: 1) WTF? 2) I have weed in my shoulder bag.
