Oxnard—Sometimes, my past truly haunts me, making me realize that I’ll never escape what’s been ingrained into my mindset. TO explain, the J-Train and I were out the other day, and on the way home, we decided to pick up dinner at one of the local restaurants. It started okay; I was being my usual goofball self, and the J-Train and I each ordered chicken salads. Sounds nice, right? Well, fro...

Oxnard-- Just for a change, I decided to step out of the norm and did something different. I stopped writing and watched the Jets game on television. IT’S uncommon for me to stop and root for my favorite football team on television, but I decided I could use a break. It was nice to stop and just relax for a while. The Jets won the game and beat the Giants, which made me happy. I went back...

Oxnard-- It’s funny the lessons I learn sometimes as I roll through life, which can smack you right in the face. AS I previously mentioned, I agreed to help a company move forward, but never in life did I think I would encounter things we have long since placed in our rearview mirror. A good news article informs the reader and is not a 500-word summary to review, and some companies need hel...

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...
