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,

Simon Out And Merson In On '60s On 6

Posted 09-10-2017 at 01:55 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

We'll just have to get used to it, won't we? The abrupt departure of Lou Simon from Sirius XM's '60s on 6 has a lot of people asking questions. Now, to be fair, Simon is still working at Sirius XM, but is in another capacity and will be overseeing other things. In his place at Channel 6 is former Baltimore radio jock Ken Merson.

So far, Merson sounds great on 6, and has tried to keep the '60s Satellite Survey to around two hours, with 30 songs and not a lot...

Case's Fearless 2017 NFL Predictions

Posted 09-07-2017 at 03:39 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

I actually thought I'd never get to it, but here it is at last. Football is back, and the NFL is starting up today with optimism running real high for a lot of teams.

So, here we go with my fearless predictions and who I believe will be the NFL champs the night of the Super Bowl. First place to last place is left to right as you read these.

AFC
East: New England, Miami, Buffalo, NY Jets
South: Houston, Jacksonville, Indianapolis,...

Gas Shortage, Huh? I'm Not In A Panic

Posted 09-04-2017 at 08:59 AM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)
Updated 09-04-2017 at 01:41 PM by case44

Last Wednesday, things were pretty normal, even though gas prices were creeping up. Your writer made a visit to the gas pump and filled it up whenever the need was there. And it's a good thing I did.

Because Thursday was a different story.

You know the latest news by now, what with half of this nation's gas stations suddenly not having any fuel for the pumps, thanks to Hurricane Harvey's torrential rains at refineries in Houston and Beaumont, Texas....

Scattershooting / It's Not A New Airport, But It'll Do

Updated 09-04-2017 at 09:19 AM by case44

On this Labor Day weekend, I guess it's about time again to do another round of Scattershooting for all to read. As hard as it is to believe that fall is almost in the air, you know that you'll have plenty of options to keep you cool. Let this column be one of them....

Lubbock's Preston Smith International Airport may actually see a possible upgrade in the next couple of years. Heck, everybody else in Texas has had or are undergoing some...

Shopping Cart Abuse: Just Stop With It Already

Posted 09-02-2017 at 08:40 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

You see the following items in places they really aren't supposed to be. Have you ever driven around your town and happen to see a shopping cart..................five blocks from the grocery store or department store or superstore where it would normally be?

I've talked in the past about how our society has just lost it, having lost its ways, its values, its integrity. Yeah, and yet, in this case here, the culprits are usually teenagers with nothing better to...
