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,

Looking Forward To An Exciting (And Hull-acious) 2019

Posted 12-31-2018 at 08:44 AM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

We don't know what's going to come next, but if the good Lord wills, then it will come. Baby New Year will be generously unwrapped in a few short hours, and many people will make some resolutions that likely won't be kept.

As for me, well, I'm just looking forward to that stove top in the morning, where your favorite blogger will make some black-eyed peas and a few corn muffins hot from the oven. Pork jowls. Ham chunks. Butter. Yum. I could taste...

You'd Think Google Maps Could Be More Current

Posted 12-31-2018 at 08:35 AM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

I'll preface by saying that no technological advance or system is ever completely perfect. And I'd have to admire Google for one thing, and that's the street view on Google Maps.

One of its features is the aerial view of any geographical area in which you're viewing. Keep in mind what it took to piece all of those locations together, and furthermore, to keep them as current as possible. Just let that sink in for a moment. I'll admit this: I'm addicted to Google...

Austin-Bergstrom Undergoing Big Makeover For Travelers

Posted 12-30-2018 at 12:32 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

It's been ongoing, I know, but I couldn't help but give pause and take a close look. Besides road work in Austin, Texas, their airport is taking on a makeover of its own.

Austin-Bergstrom International Airport has several projects going on, from the terminal to the taxiway to the surrounding economic development. With twenty years under its belt as an airport, ABIA has to prepare for the future and accommodate the area's booming growth, not to mention the city's strong...

If Anyone Really Understands The Dow, Then It Would Be Gene Simmons

Posted 12-27-2018 at 02:36 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

Forget that the following link took place in September; this was prophetic, given the events of the past week on Wall Street. Leave it to Gene Simmons, late of the rock group KISS, to give these predictions.

We've had a couple of wild weeks on the Dow Jones Industrial Average, and Simmons gives sage advice. I agree wholeheartedly that we will...

So There's A New Mary Poppins Movie, Eh?

Posted 12-26-2018 at 07:21 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

Seems like there's been some rebellion going on in the think tank out there. You know, the one whose powers that be decided on a new Mary Poppins movie. There's just one problem: P.L. Travers really didn't want a new movie version to come out, and such was mentioned adamantly in her will.

Respect by those still around? Hardly.

Oh, I might want to go see it just out of curiosity. But can Emily Blunt seriously do the movie's lead part justice?...
