Oxnard--My current adventure has been an odyssey, to say the least, that has an underlying tone that simply says I’m slightly off-center from most of the universe. SO let me explain. There’s an article nobody wanted to write because it is full of detail and highly contentious. It meant a ton of digging and snooping and taking a lot of time to write. The competition made it worse because the...

Oxnard-- I know it takes a whole lot of people to make up the world we live in, but sometimes I have to encounter the worst of the worst, which is maddening. TO explain, it’s Sunday evening, and I’m at home writing like usual, trying to stuff two weeks of news into a weekend. Then there is a knock at the door, and it’s one of my neighbors yelling at me because the landlord wants to do some p...

Oxnard--I’ve seen the damage caused by the recent surf activity in Channel Islands and Port Hueneme and can’t help but worry about residents and the challenges they face and hope they’ll get through the damage. SO, to exercise the demons of 2023, let’s clean out my attic and eliminate those bad images that made this year less than successful. Challenge one: paying for my 2022 medical challe...

Oxnard--Christmas Eve at my house is always the same; I get up early, work a little bit, look at the messy house, and spend the day cleaning before Christmas morning. SO, I did one story, then started doing dishes, cleaned up empty cups of dog ice cream treats all over the floor, took out the recycling, worked a little more, and then did a whole lot more cleaning while movies played in the b...

Oxnard--After two years of owning the Sentry, I’ve learned that people with accounts due want to clear the books before the end of the year. THAT’S good news because people who have a balance due make payments, so I can turn it around and make payments for balances that I owe. If money is left, well, then I can actually save some money. Considering the fact that I’m looking to purchase anot...

Oxnard--It never fails; no matter where I go, I have massive issues with going to the doctor. THE latest episode has me out of town, running out of blood pressure medication with no refills available. I thought, okay, I’ll find a doctor, and then I find out there is a 400-person waiting list to be seen, and since it’s a temporary thing for me, well, good luck. I was referred to a walk-up c...

Oxnard-- We’re rolling into December, and, like usual, I’m left searching for holiday cheer and turning that into gifts people love. LET’S start simple. Sorry, I had to make myself laugh. The J-Train is not the easiest person to buy for. I covered a couple of craft fairs this weekend while she was working and bought her some earrings because I know she loves these events. I bought her some...

Oxnard--Folks, it never fails. Every December, something bad happens to me, costing me money I don’t want to spend. was shooting an event the other day, and like usual, I came home and processed the photos so the colors are bright and balanced. Then I started looking at them and thought, oh my God, the pictures are kind of blurry and not good. I had my camera looked at, which costs money and...

Oxnard-- Things run through my head during the week; what do I want to write about? Then, I look at the calendar and notice that we’re rolling into Thanksgiving and the Christmas season, and I think I’ve got to get organized. OKAY, I start with what I am thankful for - my sons, Travis, the Paramedic, and the Sarge, Colin. They’re good boys who somehow have become outstanding young men. Wel...
