Oxanrd

We should give the city of Oxnard proper credit for saving Santa Claus.
This (ever famous) Santa was created in 1950 for the city of Carpinteria.
He resided in the City of Carpinteria for 50 years. He watched over 101 freeway to see if our driving was naughty or nice.

There was a controversy on this Santa Clause.  They were going to kill Santa!.  Carpinteria had decided to get rid of him.
The City of Oxnard, with a team of volunteers, rescued Santa Claus and gave him a new home.

The list of the rescuers (mainly local businesses) is on location as well.

Keep watching Santa's glasses.  He wears dark Sun-glasses during Summer season.  During the winter time he wears clear glasses.

Some people think it's embarrassing to shop at 99 Cents Only Stores. Some people think 99 Cents Only Stores are only for poor people.  Jay Leno makes fun on 99 Cents Only Stores. I don't think that's right.  I shop at 99 Cents Only Stores often and I suggest everyone to check it out.  You may be missing out on good things.

They definitely have something for me, and I am not poor.

I buy a lot of brand name candies at 99 Cents Only Stores. My shopping list also contains sugar, salt, mustard, coffee filters... 

Oh, I use baby shampoos from 99 Cents Only Store.  Baby shampoos are pH balanced.  If you are older and losing hair, try baby shampoo from 99 Cents Only Store.  You may be surprised to see how less hair you will lose.

I don't buy any fruits and vegetables there.  Actually, I don't even look at them. 

When you visit 99 Cents Only Store, look for brand name items.  You will occationally find brand name products such as SPAM, Healthy Choice, Farmer Jones, Hickory Farms, &, etc.  That's when you save some big bucks.

I have witnessed this accident in 2003 at Oxnard.
I gave a report to the policewoman.
Of course, I didn't forget to snap a few shots.

Please drive careful.
