Notice Oxnard is so heavily hispanic, 67%, they

don't even bother in the stores, Home Deport or Lowes to label the sections in English. To compound the problem, since all the electrical parts are made in Mexico these days, they don't even bother to have bilingual packages. The help, nice enough they are, but they only work with English un poquito.

It makes projects quite a bit longer to complete, at least that is my hope.

 

Here in el paso the schools teach bi lingual from an early age. Sucks not understanding most conversations but my spanish skills are increasing. I can asleast order delicious burritos

 

I managed to get what I thought might be right. Going back now to try again.

 

Ur in El Paso? I was there last year.

Its like upscale Mexico up in there.

 

Ya. I like it. Im surprised cause 1mil population doesnt bother me much. Helps that most people are polite. In SC populations was like 30k and everyone was a piece of shit.

 

yeah, seems empty everywhere though. kinda a weird vibe out there like endless spread out neighborhoods. Its like Vegas minus the strip. got some good machaca and some chicos

 

I’m so confused

 

Google translate.....language is no longer a stopping block...you can find out what the Spanish instructions are instantly...www.googletranslate.com

 

with google translate you can type your part in English and it will translate it to Spanish...simple.

 

I was talking to a medical rep who had a house in Oxnard, sounded really weird because she was a blonde white girl and I wouldn't expect. come to find out that she had a beach house out there.


Oxnard is a farming community. Kind of like Woodburn or some shit like that.

 

Don't be. @MarAzul often has complaints about the brown people making his life harder.

 

Back in my day the place was all oxen like New Zealand. We didn't worry about languages, we just grunted.

 

the international language is based on huh, unhuh, uhuh...it's really all you need

 

Funny. My family has a farm in Woodburn. And my Mexican wife has family in Oxnard. Coincidence?

 

Its weird because while there is a lot of mexicans in oxnard for farming, there is also a pretty nice marina/beach area.

 

Oxnard is very nice. Fresh fruit and produce locally and a beautiful Marina on a rather calm sea, the Santa Barbara Channel.

 

Actually, I wonder if the store management has actually thought this through. When I was returning from the store, the High School on Gonzalez street was over for the day. Must have been 200 kids crossing the street in front of me as I sat at the light. A sea of black haired kids!
Ha! not another shade in sight. My Copper Blond grand kids would stick out like a blinking light!

But I did notice the kids were speaking English in their banter back and forth. Second or third generation most of them, I suspect. Will the Spanish only sit well with them?

I did finally get the right electrical plug.

 

I know chicos is a thing here but i dont get it. The tacos are too hard. So much good food here though i think that is why everyone is chill. How can you be grumpy with unlimited barbacoa and tacos alpastor

 

You old ones sure have some crazy names for the "masseuse".
