Who else has lost power this evening?

Our house, our whole street, the Woodcreek/Mission Oaks intersection near us, and the Mission Oaks Vons plaza across the street from us all lost power ~26 minutes ago, at like 6:53 PM or so.

A few minutes later, we had a VERY brief flicker of power everywhere around us before the power shut off again.

At ~7:06 PM, the power came back on again everywhere for about a minute before completely shutting off everywhere again.

How's everyone else who's lost power now holding up, and more importantly, how much has it interfered with any plans to watch Game 1 of the World Series tonight?

My parents are currently watching it on my dad's phone using data, which my dad's not very happy about since he hates it when we use data, but, watching your team in the World Series is honestly very much worth using data and my parents chose wisely.

Smell of Burning (10/24/2024)

Hi Cam Residents!

This is my first post, and I just wanted to check if anyone else is also experiencing a burning smell. It started around 9 p.m. When I went outside, the sky looked strange—almost smoky or foggy, though I couldn’t quite tell. I went out again a little later, and it still smells bad. I checked the wildfire updates but didn’t see anything affecting Camarillo. I also checked the air quality, and it’s rising to 50, possibly close to 60 or 70, from the usual 20. When I was outside, I noticed a strange, long black line in the sky, which I’ll upload here. Additionally, I saw two police cars speed by, seeming like they were responding to an emergency. Let me know if anyone has more information!

Arneill ranch park

Anyone have anymore info on the “made at home” explosion/ bomb that was set off in the park a few weeks ago? FBI came out that day but haven’t heard much. I am little nervous for that neighborhood. There are very extremist maga that live in that area… one that proudly flies his trump flag with a fake trump holding an AK. (Funny that trump can’t lift his water bottle ) Disgusting to put that out in such a nice neighborhood and so close to two schools… Anyways hopefully someone has more info!

Uh..."Keep Parks Family-Friendly?" " "...reflect healthy attitudes and lifestyles"? This is from Pamela Krausz's current campaign website for PVRPD District 3.

Link to where I found these promises from Krausz: https://pamela4parks.com/?fbclid=IwY2xjawF3INVleHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHds-Ey9l_U_OurL3UnXoudX6479fRUvi0hvGVIeTW4FaxXF043pKDszVtg_aem_dQThB6KWAr-ZuihQcgAq9A

While I understand that it's indeed very important for Camarillo's parks and recreation facilities to remain family-friendly and to reflect healthy attitudes and lifestyles...was anyone seriously thinking the PVRPD would ever NOT hold their parks and facilities to this standard?

I thought that was baked right into the PVRPD's inherent existence and purpose, keeping their parks and facilites healthy places to be for people of all ages.

It just seems funny for a candidate running for an entity that's clearly always done such a thing to make that one of their campaign promises unless they're actually trying to dogwhistle towards people who believe that stuff like even G-rated activities concerning being (openly) LGBTQ+ are somehow inappropriate for children (link is to an article on the Heritage Foundation's website), or all the people who believe that stuff like being (openly) LGBTQ+ is somehow either an unhealthy lifestyle choice (link is to an article from the Christian Medical & Dental Associations® (CMDA)) or a symptom of (mental) illness (link is to an article from Fountain House), or both of those groups of people?

Like, I can't seriously be the only one that's a bit suspicious here, can I?

Camarillo City Council to Discuss Improving Safety by Reducing Speed Limits

At the 10/9 city council meeting, the city will discuss the traffic study to update speed limits throughout the city. Using the 85% rule, all speed limits studied are enforceable under state law (avoiding Speed Trap laws). However, AB43 allows cities to further drop the speed limit by 5 mph below the 85% rule under a variety of circumstances related to pedestrian and bicyclist safety. As such, they have proposed dropped the speed limit on:

  • Davenport Street (Village at the Park) from 35 to 30 due to the elementary school.

  • Ventura Blvd (west end of old town, Cedar Drive to Carmen) from 30 to 25, to unify with the middle part of old town (east end, Arniell to Lewis is still 30 for some reason)

  • Ventura Blvd (Carmen towards Outlets, Camarillo Center Drive) from 35 to 30 (because of fast food and a traffic signal?)

I personally support utilizing AB43 to the fullest extent possible making our city safer for vulnerable road users, though their prioritized segments seem like weird choices. Honestly, most of them feel like they are either through residential areas where pedestrians would want to cross or part of the city's bike network, and reducing the speed of traffic along side bikes would make biking more comfortable and increase utilization of the bike network.

All examined roads:

  • Adolfo Road

  • Bridgehampton Way (Village at the Park)

  • Crestview Avenue (Spanish Hills)

  • Davenport Street (Village at the Park)

  • Dawson Drive (south side parallel to Lewis)

  • Overland Road (side street curving around Home Depot)

  • Petit (connects Village at the Park to Mission Oaks)

  • Upload Road

  • Ventura Boulevard

  • Village Commons Boulevard (Village at the Park)

  • Village at the Park Drive

Jobs and education

Hello. I'm trying to get out of retail. Physically and mentally I just cannot do it anymore. How do I get in other jobs when my only experience is retail?

I check postings I've applied to litterally all the dam jobs I can in camarillo. They don't have much at all. How do I do this?

Is their free education? That would let me do more? I'm a little lost with life and I only wanna improve it. I don't know how to do these things anymore and what I do know hasn't been helpful to real life situation.

Some help or a guide to be honest would be very helpful :c

Jobs with bar tending and serving experience?

Hi yall. I’m currently working as a bartender/server in Westlake Village and it’s a bit of a drive from where I’m living. Is there any place that I should I apply to where the bartenders or servers consistently seem like they’re having a good time? I’m preferably looking to have a little younger clientele considering the demographic for Westlake. Any suggestions will help!

How do you guys make friends?

Not sure what to write. But I've lived here for a long while. And well how do you even make friends? It's incredibly awkward to just ask a random fellow 30 year old if they wanna be friends. I need some advice for a fellow person in need

Find a D&D group in Camarillo

My name is Chay Comas, and I catalog local tabletop gaming clubs for D&D, Miniature Wargaming, and Trading Card Games across the Central Coast of California in this free forever newsletter.

If you're looking for a tabletop club, or how to create one from the ground up, this issue is for you. This issue covers some big news about a couple of local game designers, how to find or organize a tabletop club, features local artists, a local gamer keeping a 200+ year gaming tradition alive, a guide for organizing game clubs, and a special dedication to my father at the end.

Excerpt:

...Marshall Neal has been supporting local game conventions by running Kriegsspiel, a very historical wargame dating back to the 1800s as an officer training tool for the Prussian Army. Kriegsspiel is often referred to as the Great Grandfather of Dungeons & Dragons, as it led to more recent, and familiar, historical wargames like Napoleonic Wargames. The Napoleonic Wargames and other wargames of the 1960s and 1970s brought together the co-creators of Chainmail (Gary Gygax and Jeff Perren), which then inspired Dungeons & Dragons (Dave Arneson and Gary Gygax). Marshall has single-handedly kept the flame of Kriegsspiel alight on the Central Coast, as few still play locally. Though his international community on Discord thrives and often plays virtually, I wonder when the last in-person game will be played here on the coast...

Enjoy, and Happy Gaming! Central Coast Game Community Newsletter

Join us at Zander's Game House this Saturday for an exciting opportunity to playtest a D&D adventure before it's officially published! (14 seats still available)

Crashing Waves & Crushing Depths A “Jewel of the North” Adventure

Neverwinter is alive with merriment! Locals and visitors alike are enjoying a citywide festival celebrating the City of Skilled Hands’ many cultures. A perilous dockside disturbance draws the heroes into a local competition, however, in the form of the Jewel of the North’s Bavanese Maritime Race: an event showcasing sailing and diving prowess. Can the adventurers protect the competitors from dangers lurking beneath the waves?

A Two-Hour Adventure for Tier 1 Characters level 1-5

Black Water & Blue Wine A “Jewel of the North” Adventure

The Festival of Skilled Hands brings a bustle of commerce to Neverwinter, and nowhere more than at the Seven Suns Coster Market, where merchants from across the North hawk their wares. But when a delivery of Silverymoon Blue wine goes astray, a visiting vintner fears the worst and enlists the heroes’ help to track down the missing courier. Their search will lead them across Neverwinter into its seedy underbelly—and, if they’re not careful, to a quick end!

Housing Market Predictions?

Husband and I are trying to decide whether to sell our condo in Camarillo and buy a house in Camarillo now (Fall 2024) or wait a while? It seems like the inventory continues to be low and prices continue to rise. We are worried we may be unable to buy in the future if prices keep rising….

Thoughts?

IchigoCon 2024 is going to be at Studio Channel Islands in Old Town Camarillo 10 AM-11 PM on Saturday, 9/14! Tickets are about $24 for everyone, and I think all under 15 must have an adult with them. Also, is anyone interested in forming a Garfield/US Acres cosplay group with me for this event?

Garden design consultant?

Just bought a home in Camarillo and would like to get help with designing the garden. I’m looking for someone who could help provide some input and ideas about what to do with a shallow but wide garden. Not looking for something super high end but would appreciate someone who can provide helpful insight into designing the garden to optimize the space. Does anyone know anybody that could do a consultation either locally or online?
