Art,
I like your new category “What’s up today in the OC?”
It shows that you can cut and paste.
How splendid.
12:57,
Indeed. We are trying to broaden our coverage of the county – and this is a relatively easy way to do it. Glad you like it.
By the way, we are not going to include links to ridiculous stories, such as the one in today’s papers about a piece of chocolate that looks like the Virgin Mary, or something to that effect. Sorry – there is a limit to what I am willing to “cut and paste.”
So the truck vendors won in Santa Ana. Score another one for free enterprise.

What is up with anonymous at 12:57? Apparently he/she can’t cope with change. It is so easy to be negative and complain and be unhappy in life, rather than offer constructive criticism. What a shame for anonymous 12:57. I rather like Orange Juice’s new format, even if it is cut and paste. Keep up the good work Art.
