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,

Chocolate Here, Chocolate There, And Chocolate Everywhere

Posted 01-02-2018 at 06:33 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

This didn't really stop with the holidays. Not a chance. Now, this continues on after the calendar turns because of temperatures well below freezing outside and most cold things in the fridge just won't do.

You name it, I've had it in the last month. Chocolate brownies, chocolate cake, chocolate candy bars, chocolate round candy, hot chocolate, chocolate chip cookies, chocolate pudding, on and on. If I weren't careful, I'd have accidentally put...

What Lubbock Missed Out On, And What It Should Have Done

Posted 12-31-2017 at 01:51 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

Whenever I look at a map of Lubbock, Texas, there are those times I have to shake my head. To this day, I'll never understand why city planners could not conjure up a better, more comprehensive freeway plan.

What I'm referring to in this posting is the northwest side of town and quick ways to access it. If only now, there are any. When the powers that be had come up with a plan for freeways in Lubbock, Texas, why couldn't they pick a routing for a new road to...

No Ice Near Home For Two Years, But Could That Change?

Posted 12-29-2017 at 09:59 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

Never mind that a New Year is coming. That, we can't do anything about. But the weather in North Texas is still really cold, and that, too, is something we can't do much about. So what if it's winter time? The latest forecasts have Dallas/Fort Worth possibly dealing with potential ice on the ground as early as Sunday, with gradual sub-freezing temperatures.

Let's just keep our fingers crossed.

It had only been about three years since this...

Scattershooting / Oh, How Things Just Stop Working

Posted 12-28-2017 at 07:48 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)
Updated 12-29-2017 at 04:28 AM by case44

It's time once again for some more Scattershooting for the masses. We go here, there, and, seemingly, everywhere while we do it, so if you've completed your Christmas returns (as you may not have liked what Santy brung ya), then let us proceed with what I'd call my year-end edition.

********

More shenanigans involving things in apartments that become as human as the people who use them. At least, it sure seems that way. Yesterday, my air-conditioning...

Christmas 2017: Happy Holidays To All And Everyone

Posted 12-24-2017 at 02:40 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

As you make your way to grandmother's house or wherever you may be, let me take a few moments and wish all of you the merriest of Christmases this year! Ol' Case is taking time to reflect on the year that was, and Santy is getting his sleigh all revved with every place to go.

2017 has been a phenomenal year in many ways! Work has certainly gone better than ever (Okay, so I changed jobs a year and a half ago. So what?), my country is reviving, and my Houston...
