Oxnard--I was driving to an event the other day and spent a harrowing couple of miles driving on the worst roads I have ever seen in my life. To call the streets full of potholes is, without a doubt, the biggest understatement of the year. IT makes me wonder what the pavement condition index is in this area, but don’t ask that question because you won’t get an honest answer here. It makes m...

Oxnard-- It’s funny how a simple change of scenery can remind you just how different things can be. The lesson here is don’t complain. I’M starting to settle in and get to work, and my new location’s attitude towards the media and public is much different. For example, trying to do a deep dive on any topic is frowned upon, and when you start digging, you might as well forget it. I’m being t...

Oxnard-- Wow, I thought driving across the country was challenging, but that is nothing compared to landing in your new home and having boxes everywhere. few things come with a house full of boxes, like clutter. I hate clutter with a passion that can’t be measured by existing technology. I hate clutter more than going to the doctor. Ironically, I’m married to the J-Train, the disorganized cl...

Neighbors, the 4th of July has come and gone. Although the use of fireworks within city limits, including those deemed safe and sane, have been declared illegal in Oxnard, many of you have already had your fun and violated this declaration on the evening of the 4th. SOME of you couldn’t even wait for the 4th and started weeks prior. And now, it is near the end of July and some of you still con...

Oxnard—Life keeps changing for me, and I try my best to roll with the punches and move forward, with some poignant lessons learned along the way. FIRST lesson, if an airline tells you that your fat dog is okay to ride in a plane’s cabin, it’s important to explain that he’s overweight, or you’ll end up without plane tickets. That meant I had to drive across the Country, which I don’t recommen...

Oxnard- As some of you already know, I am working my way through some new challenges this month, which is nothing new to me. I face challenges all the time. SO, onward I roll, working my way down a substantial to-do list when disaster strikes my home. It’s nothing epic to most people, but to the most non-mechanically inclined person anywhere, the message paper jam on my printer is a disaster...

Oxnard--I’ll be honest, some of my best memories growing up are from the Fourth of July. AS a young Boy, the Fourth meant a family trip to Freeport Stadium to see Midget Racers, along with the Demolition Derby, and finally, a big Fireworks Show above Freeport Stadium, all put together by Volunteers at the Freeport Fire Department. My Father was part of the Freeport Fire Department. Fire Dep...

Oxnard-- You know, after five years of writing Frosted Thoughts, most people can read these little thoughts and develop some opinions about my life. ONE thing is for sure; I cannot make even the slightest car repair or alteration in any way. For example, the back windshield wiper on my car was worn out, so I thought, no problem, I’ll buy a new wiper and replace it. After reading the instruc...

Oxnard--Have you ever looked at your home and said oh man, this place needs some work? I did this past weekend, and it can be a challenging task. FOR starters, the J-Train is a self-proclaimed “clutter queen,” which is the polar opposite of me. I dislike clutter, so onward I rolled, trying to box things that haven’t been used in years and placing them in our outdoor storage. That’s where th...

Oxnard-- I hope all the Dads out there have a great Father’s Day and all the children take the time to appreciate everything that Dads go through daily to ensure their kids are happy, safe, and loved. I’VE written in detail about my Father already, Ward Ryder Frost Jr., so I won’t relive all those memories. Still, they live inside of me every day. It took me some time to embrace those memori...
