Drug Dealing

So the latest gossip is that Hernan, his kid brother, some cousins and other friends are growing and selling weed.

As I heard it this morning, the story goes like this.

The police were trying to catch some guy (I don't know who or for what reason), but they failed, which is common here in town, because no one wants to tell the police where the criminals (a.k.a. their cousin, neighbor, buddy, brother-in-law) disappeared to. Some kid that hangs out with my teenage brother-in-law found it humorous and whistled a mocking tune at the po-po.

The police took offense and decided to arrest this kid. Some people in town, probably bored out of their minds (because aren't we all?) saw the police pickup go by with him in the back. Somehow the gossip has now developed - They grow it in the mountains, and when two of our cousins go running up there every day, they're actually watering the plants. When these kids come over to play video games in my brother-in-law's room, they're actually bagging it. And when Hernan drives to work in his truck, he's actually out selling.

Got to love the small town, bored out of your mind, up in everybody's business gossip.
