I think these two items are worth passing on, from the City of Ojai's website:
Vehicle and pedestrian-vehicle accidents have captured local news as Ojai counted its fifth since New Year’s Eve on Wednesday evening.
Many accidents involve a single second of inattention or distraction, a moment when one takes for granted, “There is nothing coming.” We aren’t really looking to see what we might. We are trying to verify what we already know: the coast is clear.
The Ojai Police wants to remind everyone who drives to be careful, give your full attention to the job, and expect the unexpected. The safest driver is one who gives a little more room, slows down a bit, and looks both directions—really looks.
Please drive attentively and give yourself plenty of time for your travels. To cross the street use crosswalks or intersections. Be alert. Be alive tomorrow.

The popular sculpture Early Bird Shopper (appears just above this message in the City's website banner, top right corner) was stolen from its perch in the Arcade Plaza. If you have any knowledge about the disappearance of this lovely piece by Sylvia Raz, please contact the Ojai Police at 646-1414.
Something to say?
