Welcome To Case's Column

Let me say a big welcome to all of you for joining me here. I'm going to call these blog meetings Case's Column. I wanted to use "Corner", but that was already taken. Since 2008, it's been a real privilege to come on here and share some of my life with you, and it's a big world where we live.

In these blogs, I'll just speak whatever is on my mind, but we will be playing within the rules here. I may pick a particular topic, point out an event, or shoot the breeze. I'm a little bit of an essayist at times, so I'll just speak what's on my mind, and I might tell a story or two. Or, I might spew out an opinion or three. There will be some serious moments, some tender, some poignant, but there will also be those moments that you'll just bust out laughing. But, hopefully, everything will be in good fun here. And, of course, there's a place below for your comments and thoughts as we go along here. So feel free to join me for the ride -- I sure as heck hope I'm doing this right and not making any mistakes.

Thanks for taking your time in reading Case's Column. Hopefully, you'll enjoy being entertained by it as much as I've enjoyed putting these writings together. And thanks for the time you spend in City-Data.com, where it's great to be alive!

Regards,

Looks Like The Chips Fell The Right Way This Time

Posted 12-29-2015 at 06:34 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

Isn't it amazing what a job in a round-the-clock dispatch center can do for a human being? For the first time in about eight years, I actually get to be off on New Year's Day. For once, the chips happened to fall in a good way.

Oh, where I've worked has generally been good to me, but it's wrecked my social life when it comes to events like what goes on this Thursday night, when they drop the ball in Times Square to ring in yet another New Year. Many folks...

Christmas 2015 Is Here At Last In The World

Posted 12-25-2015 at 09:38 AM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

I've got my coffee. You've got your egg nog. Some of you have snow falling in anticipation of that great winter ritual known as the snowball fight, and others, well, in my neighborhood, we will have 68 degrees and sunshine today. Good weather to run around in the parking lot naked.

Okay, relax, y'all; my clothes are staying on. I have to go see my uncle and aunt and several cousins this afternoon. Last night, my mother and I were reunited with...

I-69 Update: I-169 Officially Enters The System And More

Posted 12-21-2015 at 02:48 AM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

Three new sections have just been cleared in South Texas to go into the Interstate 69 network in Texas. Slowly, but surely, more miles begin to march into an exciting new road system, still years from its full completion.

Thanks to some newfound money voted on by us to pay for new roads, more projects will be on the way for I-69. Several are well underway as I write. For now, I'm just happy that we're seeing any progress at all.

Without belaboring...

Setting A New Record..............For Free Whataburgers

Posted 12-20-2015 at 07:02 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

It is quite possible to do better at a restaurant than you can at the Texas Lottery. After all, who really cares about winning ten dollars on the All or Nothing game when all I really want is a clever way to get a double-meat Whataburger with fries at a reduced price?

Now imagine getting a receipt with a survey to get you a free Whataburger.................on four straight visits!

Well, that's been the scenario of late, and it's only happened in...

Miracles DO Happen.....At My Car Dealership's Service Department

Posted 12-17-2015 at 03:17 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

You could only imagine the look on my face when something very strange happened a few nights ago. On a few errands, my car's engine suddenly started having a few knocking sounds. Just the thing you don't want when thinking about buying cookies.

The knocking and sputtering continued until I stopped at a gas station, believing, at the time, that, maybe, I'd gotten some bad gasoline. All of which would not have made much sense because I'd just filled up the tank...
