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,

New North Texas Area Code About To Launch

Posted 03-27-2020 at 07:55 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

Another what? Another area code?? Here? In Dallas, where there already are three, along with two in Fort Worth and one up to the northwest?

Yes, sports fans, area code 945 is coming to Dallas. Seems like it's that time again, when practically all of the phone numbers and fax numbers are completely used up and taken, the PUC near you has decided to unleash another one on us.

In all, the Dallas-Fort Worth area has these numbers: 214, 817,...

It's Time For America To Get Back To Work

Like I've previously pointed out in a previous blog chickenscratch, I believe that America will rise again. Yes, definitely from this pandemic called coronavirus that has gripped the world.

But America will be back. It'll be back sooner than anyone could imagine.

Victor Davis Hanson, our modern-day historian and big thinker, believes the same. We've got great leadership going on in the United States in battling said pandemic. President Donald...

Scattershooting Once More / Who Still Isn't In The Rock Hall?

Is it that time again? Pinch yourself. You're not dreaming. Time again for more Scattershooting, right here and only on City-Data, where it's great to be alive. If you're in the U.S., there's a census going 'round, and you need to participate. I made myself count. So should you.

I just checked out a website for Detroit's classic rock station WCSX-FM (94.7), and they had a list of bands and artists who have still not made it in to...

China Will Never Be Forgiven And America Will Rise Again

Posted 03-22-2020 at 05:34 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)
Updated 03-24-2020 at 06:54 PM by case44

In the world in which we live, things just have a way of happening. In politics, however, the happenings there have the makings of a television soap opera.

And so it goes with this thing called COVID-19, or the Chinese coronavirus. As Kurt Kaiser so brilliantly wrote in a hymn of the faith, "It only takes a spark to get a fire going...." Well, in the case of the China government, it didn't just start a little weenie-roast; it started a wildfire. The...

Earliest Spring In 124 Years, And Very Rare

Posted 03-21-2020 at 07:32 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

Spring has sprung, all right. It happened with just a few minutes left on March 19. Usually, when we have spring at such....

Did I just say March 19??

Not that that's a bad thing; after all, your writer had been waiting all winter for this. March 19 is our equinox this year. For the first time in 124 years, the aforementioned happened. Interestingly, an article I've read in the almanac also states that we will not see another March...
