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,

More From Austin: Gotta Have A Round Rock Donut

Posted 10-22-2016 at 10:15 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

I've been meaning to write this in here, but I just haven't had the time. My previous post had me sharing a little of last week's road trip to Austin. The funny thing is, I took to the road having had just a couple hours of sleep, but I'd already had it planned no matter what my work schedule had going.

Anyway, great time by me. Weather cooperated great. And..........I needed some Round Rock Donuts. Look, The Casester could not help himself. Too much...

East Austin Conversion Is Long Overdue

Posted 10-16-2016 at 07:29 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

I had to do a getaway to Austin on an early Saturday morning. Just had to. Since my work schedule is changing in another week or so, there won't be anymore Saturday trips. Not for a while, anyway.

Once in Austin, I had to take a look at a couple of freeway projects currently in progress. TXDOT is doing a nice job with the MoPac Expressway expansion (State Loop 1), and that includes putting together a managed lane in each direction from Parmer Lane to the Colorado...

Golden Corral: Lessons Learned, But Is It Too Late?

Posted 10-11-2016 at 12:42 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

There are so many places for me to eat that I cannot get to all of them, largely due to so much competition. In an area of 7 million people which I live in, you have to expect that.

But in the act of eating out................anywhere, you also have to expect food and container conditions to be clean and in tip-top shape for all patrons to partake. Some restaurants don't practice good conditions and, oftentimes, things get swept under the rug.

Or,...

More Scattershooting / From Dispatcher To Rater

Posted 10-09-2016 at 08:03 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

Time for us to gather once again in the world of Scattershooting right here on City-Data, where it's great to be alive. Believe me, you'll get things here you won't get anywhere else. So, let's get the computer campfire started if you'll just pass me a log.

********

Two more weeks of training. That's all I'm getting before the challenge of getting on the floor with the big guns. It's all in the thing called customs brokerage, and that's what I'll...

Big Weekend Ahead: Texas And OU

Posted 10-07-2016 at 09:58 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

Let's face it, sports fans: It's a weekend I always look forward to. If you follow college football, then you know what I'm talking about.

All week long, we've had Texas-OU Week. The Texas Longhorns and Oklahoma Sooners are about to square off tomorrow (as of this writing) in another match-up to add lore to their storied rivalry. The two just can't stand one another. Every eyeball is going to be on Dallas for this big event in a game that could have seasonal...
