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,

Dairy Queen In An Identity Crisis: How Do You Want Your Burger?

Posted 10-09-2019 at 05:36 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

Dairy Queen has every reason to be Texas' Stop Sign. The venerable fast-food chain has a long history of catchy menu items, like the Beltbuster (double-meat hamburger), the Dilly Bar, the Blizzard, and the Dude. Heck, it was the first place where I had French fries. I'd have to go waaaaay back to 1970 to have crinkle-cut potato goodness, with a little salt sprinkled on them.

Long since, those fries have been replaced with another recipe and shape, and...

While The Astros Bask In Playoff Glory, Greinke Is A Man Of Few Words

Posted 10-06-2019 at 07:12 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

The Houston Astros have had some historic moments this season for a team destined to be one of baseball's best.

And you could also say that today's press conference at Tropicana Field in St Petersburg had a historic significance of its own, if not hysterical. One of baseball's best starting pitchers in this era, Zack Greinke, is not your idea of a sparkling interview. Certainly a ball of fire at most yawning festivals. And all we wanted to find out was, Zack,...

It's been turning up on YouTube, and chances are, you probably weren't the one who decided to skip the ad....

There's been a recent discovery. All you users of your favorite national soap may be surprised after you've seen a Dr Squatch commercial. The product being pitched is an all-natural soap that sez they don't use all the chemicals that you find in the soaps normally found on a grocery store or drug store aisle. Dr Squatch, whose ad-man is comedian James Schrader,...

Had Enough Media Madness? Just Shut It Off

Posted 09-26-2019 at 04:48 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)
Updated 10-06-2019 at 09:47 PM by case44

One thing about life today that we didn't have thirty years ago: Today, we've got the internet. And thank God for that.

We have more sources for media than we have ever had here in America. There are more news sources. Some of those sources are very bad nowadays. Reporting has simply turned into propagandizing. What a tragedy. It's a tragedy and a travesty when you consider that a profession which is supposed to be doing people a public service and give...

An Explosion Of New Barbecue In Austin

Posted 09-23-2019 at 05:22 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

My lands, did you see what Southside Market is doing? Yes, the one in Elgin. And in Bastrop. Central Texans are salivating over the expansion of this Elgin legend, which is only the oldest barbecue joint in the Lone Star State.

You've no doubt seen it online, but in case you haven't, Southside Market is making two moves. They'll launch two new locations, one in Hutto at their new Co-Op district (and how cool is that?), and the other at Austin's Shops...
