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,

Scattershooting / 2020 Will Be Here Before We Know It

Ready for more Scattershooting? I am. Halloween is over and we've all put away our candy (back in the pantry if not in our stomachs ), and now comes turkey time in these great United States. The fall season is most definitely upon us, but it also leads to another big thing. Read on.

In just a couple of months from right now (as of this post entry), our check-writing will take on a different look as, instead of changing one digit in our...

Home Field Advantage Meant Absolutely Nothing This Time

Posted 10-30-2019 at 10:30 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

This was supposed to be one of the greatest baseball teams of all time. It was the year that the Houston Astros, with all the things they accomplished in the regular season and in some of the postseason, would become a team for the ages.

Instead, we got some highly teachable moments.

The only destiny the Astros headed for was a brick wall. We have just seen one of the most bizarre World Series ever played, one where the home team never mattered. The...

A Funny Thing About Tire Pressure Panel Lights

Posted 10-30-2019 at 03:20 AM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

The weather got colder one day this past week. I looked at the tire pressure light flashing on my panel signaling my need to get air in the tires.

Nearby was a 7-Eleven with an elaborate air pump / checker. I stopped and got my left front tire filled up, thinking it was just that. When I had gotten back into my car, the light was still on!

Guess it was time for more drastic measures. Time to go to Discount Tire and just line up behind other cars...

The Washington Post Fake News Suspends All Common Sense

Posted 10-28-2019 at 02:28 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)
Updated 10-28-2019 at 05:52 PM by case44

The Washington Post is a psychotic, evil newspaper. I thought the New York Times was special, but what just came up in today's issue of the WaPo is about as heinous in presentation as any paper can get.

America had just scored a major victory over ISIS, as President Donald Trump just announced the death of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, who had been the longtime leader of the largest terrorist group in the world. Praise goes from us to our U.S. military for cutting down this evil...

This World Series Has Gone From Listless To Near Epic

Posted 10-27-2019 at 10:42 AM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

I don't want to use the word "epic" unless it is fitting and necessary. When you deal with our 2019 World Series, however, you reserve the word for the right time. After a forgettable start in Houston (unless you're a Washington Nationals fan), the Fall Classic suddenly is watchable again.

Yes, it's now a real series instead of a blowout.

Very seldom does any team down two games to none ever overcome that and come back to win a best-of-seven,...
