🌱 New Cannabis Rules? + Completion SDGE Pipeline? + Adopt A Pet

Up and at 'em, Rancho Bernardo-4s Ranch! Here's everything you need to know to get this Friday started off right.

First, today's weather:

Heavy morning rain. High: 59, Low: 50.

Here are the top stories in Rancho Bernardo-4s Ranch today:

1. The Rancho Bernardo Planning Board voted unanimously to send a letter to city officials “strongly” opposing any change in the distance rules pertaining to the location of cannabis establishments. While wanting the current rules to remain in place, some residents stated that, while they do not oppose outlets, they think such establishments would be better suited to local Business Parks rather than to neighborhoods where children live and play.

2. Residents are sick of it! Those SDGE trenches have caused traffic jams and have crumbled streets. When will it end? The good news for RB is that the end is near. To learn more: Click into parenthesis, then click the link. (The San Diego Union-Tribune)
3. Rancho Bernardo-4s Ranch area pets are available for adoption. You can meet Cupid, Charlie, and other adorable fur babies at your local shelters. Adopt a rescue, or let a rescue adopt you.
