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,

Time again in these parts to do some Scattershooting for all the masses to read, absorb, and take note. This gives us a legitimate excuse to sit back and be a sponge. Informed and entertained people such as yourselves deserve to be so, and with that, here we ride!

For those of you from other parts of the country who haven't had occasion to visit Globe Life Park, the home of the Texas Rangers baseball club since 1994, the next two years...

One Holiday A Co-Worker Keeps Up With

Posted 01-26-2018 at 08:30 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

One of my supervisors in my department at work has a favorite holiday unlike what others would harbor. He looks forward to this particular time of the year. As a matter of fact, that time is one week away.

I've even harped on this subject in past chickenscratches, but it's worth mentioning once more. My co-worker is looking forward to Groundhog Day. Yep, next Friday, ol' Punxsutawney Phil will be up to his annual shenanigans in predicting what this year's spring...

Whatever Happened To Cherryville, Texas? Case Investigates (Well, Kind Of)

Posted 01-20-2018 at 05:24 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

This was supposed to be a new renaissance. A big boom. It was supposed to be a fresh addition to a Central Texas economy that just keeps on expanding. The Neighborhood of Tomorrow, if you please. So goes the idea of Cherryville, Texas, which was to have been located south of Austin and west of Lockhart. It had been talked about for seven years, as Cherryville was not just going to be residences, but an entire community, rife with complete services and business development....

First Early Signing Period Leaves A Lot Of Questions

Posted 01-18-2018 at 08:05 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

I just learned this recently, as I never knew this was going to happen in the college landscape. National Signing Day, slated for February 7, will still expect to have a lot of activity going on. The problem is, some of the luster may have gone out from this yearly event.

You see, what I just learned from a few of my co-workers is that there is now an Early Signing period in college football. That simply means that high school athletic players can make a commitment...

Time Again For Picture Day At Work

Posted 01-16-2018 at 08:15 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

Well, wouldn't you know that Mother Nature had a hand in allowing businesses to put things off? It was just too cold outside to begin with, but the threat of ice on the ground never became reality. Good for the weather people being wrong for just once.

I, on the other hand, had looked forward to today. One of the perks of working in air small package / customs brokerage is that our groups take annual pictures of the working departments and the little committees...
