Oxnard--It’s always amazing to me how you can roll through life, and before you know it, disaster strikes, and everything goes sideways.
IN other words, it’s a typical Monday, which starts with delivering the paper, stopping at my mail annex to check my box, and then it’s time to write.
That’s when things went sideways. I’d started typing, and to capitalize a word, you know, hit the shift key, it sticks, and everything is in caps, which is a big problem.
