Oxnard–This little piece of my mind pains me to write, it literally pains me. This is a right-handed editorial because my left hand is cramping. WATER is the simple solution to the cramping problem, well, it’s not really. You see, if there is too much water in my body, I throw up, then I get lectured, and I’ve seen people asked to come in for an extra clean-out. The last thing I want is to...

Have you ever wondered how Oxnard spends the sales taxes revenues? Even though the city claims during voting cycles that taxes will go to services, parks, and perhaps streets or programs, where does it go? According to Transparent California which captures salaries, OT, benefits, other costs, etc. for every employee in California local and state government, the following is for the City of Oxn...

Oxnard—It never fails, every time I get ahead of myself, and I think I have time to kill, sleep, or whatever, I end up scrambling to get caught up. FOR example, I am in the process of engaging a new bookkeeping service that will streamline my electronic payments. I got the welcome email last Friday, and figured, no problem, I have the weekend to get it done. The weekend to complete the task...

Oxnard – Today turned out really well. My blood sugar was really good. I got a lot of rest, and my little girl Daisy hung out with me for quite a while. I spent most of the night writing, had a little bit of lows with them, my blood sugar, but I dealt with it. It was OK, but I was determined and still am determined that I don’t have to write throughout the night up to the deadline. I have a...

Oxnard—I spent most of the weekend trying to decide what to write about this week. Just pondering in my mind while I was typing your story, I thought I’d put it into the paper. The title of the editorial, Thoughts, while typing”, is his tribute to my late friend and mentor Hawk Fracasa. He titled his editorials Thoughts While Shaving. During the midnight to 6 AM hours, I tend to make a lot...

Oxnard—As I reflect on the last 38 years as a Diabetic, I consider myself one of the lucky ones, of the millions of patients who’ve endured this miserable disease. A LONG time ago, when I was first diagnosed, I thought it would help me to learn all I could about this disease, so I took Advanced First Aid, and by the time I graduated, I ended up being number one in the entire class. That’s ne...

Oxnard—I don’t mean to take a line from Alice Cooper, but when you have kidney disease, every day is a nightmare. THAT nightmare includes insane diet restrictions, having a perpetual foul taste in my mouth that never leaves you, well, maybe if you spend 24 hours a day at the water fountain, which is, of course, not possible. It also means dealing with the worst nurses, technicians, and care...

Oxnard—So, 2026 is off and running, and I hope the new year brings you amazing joy. I too have a wish list, an Oxnard wish list, and I’m sure under Alex Nguyen’s careful guidance, the City will flourish. UP first is my wish for the East Oxnard Superfund site. Hopefully the area will be cleaned up and developed so it flourishes in the 2030s and beyond. My second 2026 wish is for Heritage Squ...

Oxnard—Happy new year everybody! For those who didn’t get my message last week and let me explain a little bit. ON New Year’s Eve, I went for dialysis. I fell asleep, which rarely ever happens. While I was sleeping, one of the nurses came over to put me into the entirely reclined position. I hate that every time this happens, I throw up. I understand that’s their policy, but what I don’t...

Oxnard—Before I get started on my new challenges and (hopefully) successes and ultimately mission accomplished, 2025 left a bad taste in my mouth. IN 2025, I spent the year throwing up so often that I would throw up into my office trash can while I wrote the Tri County Sentry. In 2025, I was reminded how much I hate medical professionals, with one notable exception, and how much I hate the...
