Oxnard-- You know, some weeks go as smooth as glass, while others go like lumpy gravy on undercooked mashed potatoes. ON the positive side, there were some important stories in the paper this week that, like always, I provided lots of details that keep everyone informed about the things that are happening. There were challenges, of course, that means dealing with things that I can’t control...

Oxnard-- This week has been interesting, to say the least. You may have noticed that this week’s paper is smaller, thanks to the revenue loss caused by the Omicron variant. THE paper is also glossy this week, thanks to, what I am being told, is a big paper shortage. The printer said that the paper shipment is being held up in Canada, and the only paper they have is glossy paper. Does the gl...

Oxnard-- Okay, so we’re in the middle of our next public health challenge, which is slowing things down for the Tri-County Sentry again. SINCE there are things that aren’t happening that I would normally be writing about, let’s take a few minutes to talk about other things that I’ll be doing to pass the time. Activity number one is addressing the health challenge head-on with some truth. T...

Oxnard-- Okay, I bought the paper about six weeks ago, and I can honestly say my most significant change so far is all the driving and errands I perform almost daily. THAT means writing articles, processing photos, and proofing the paper, but it also means creating invoices, going to the postal annex and then to the bank, delivering the paper in Oxnard, which is going to expand in April, not...

Oxnard-- Happy 2022! There are so many things running through my mind today that I’ll touch on a bunch of things. Anyway, if it’s January, it must be pothole season. There are some nice ones out there, that’s for sure, but I have no doubt the City of Oxnard will take care of these problems because they have the financial resources to handle the roads. Of course, that means it’s the rainy sea...

Oxnard-- Well, I know saying goodbye to 2020 was a pleasure, but 2021 was an insane mixture of good and evil. SO, just for fun, I’ll highlight the good things, and I’ll also pay homage to Seinfeld and Festivus, a festival for the rest of us, and have my own Airing of Grievances. Let’s start with the grievances, and the first place we’ll go is the utility bill but think back to January. You...

Oxnard-- Let me take a minute to speak directly to the area’s kids and tell them to pay attention in school. Trust me, you’ll regret it if you don’t. Let me explain. As I have written before, there are a whole bunch of new skills that I haven’t been exposed to before, that I said I would handle, and believe me, this is no easy feat. I’m talking about the accounting part of this business, a...

Oxnard--It’s inevitable. Every single December, either the J-Train or I get sick. The circumstances change, of course, how one of us end up getting sick, and the winner this year, not really a winner, is the J-Train. S O, while Janis was at work, she got sick from someone, and at first, it wasn’t too bad, you know, just a few sniffles. Then, on Monday, December 6, she called me while at work a...

So, a week ago, I told the community that I bought the Tri County Sentry, and I have to admit that the support and positive feedback I received are both amazing and humbling. I T’S funny because I have spent so many years traveling from state-to-state looking for a place to call home. And while you can look on the net and read about people heading out of California, I am finally home. My dance...

Oxnard—Okay, it’s time to retool and get ready for Christmas and Chanukah at the Frost house, so there is no rest whatsoever. F IRST things first, we need to finish the turkey that I spent last Thursday cooking all day. Now I share a lot of the same sentiments many others do about leftovers. Take heart, you don’t need to redo Thanksgiving on your dinner plate over and over. There are alternati...
