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,

Strange Dreams DO Happen, But This Is Really Strange

Posted 07-30-2016 at 08:25 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)
Updated 07-30-2016 at 08:36 PM by case44

I sometimes have reasons to wake up in the middle of the night, but most of the time, it's dry mouth and excessive thirst. Rarely will it ever be a crazy dream.

Wishing it could be about a beautiful lady, well, that didn't happen in this one. Many times, it could be fantastic or funny, but usually, these dreams I get are very bizarre.

So, last night, I dreamed that a co-worker had a check in his hand with money from a game show which...

Case Gets Sauced: The Truth About Stains

Posted 07-25-2016 at 08:17 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

It doesn't matter if I'm eating Italian food or Chinese food or even steak; wherever this writer goes for a good meal, a stain always wants to make its presence known.

Look, I'm usually careful when I eat things that potentially could cause stains, but it's always in that one hasty moment when I'm not thinking, caught up in savoring or in tasting or a fleeting thought or just plain getting it down. Whatever the reason, it happened. Tonight, it happened at P.F....

Vacation Thoughts: In The Next Few Years, I Need To Head Back To Route 66

Posted 07-23-2016 at 07:27 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

I've only been to a Route 66 town just twice in seven years (Tulsa), so you can only guess what I might do in the years ahead. On my mind are Missouri, New Mexico, and Arizona as I'm trying to add some Mother Road attractions to my favorites.

Obviously, I won't be able to do all of those states in one trip, but I'd like to try include one of them in a future vacation. My problem is, I only do three or four vacations a year. In four and a half years, and provided...

Scattershooting / Waiting For Possible Job Prospect

Posted 07-23-2016 at 04:55 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)
Updated 08-24-2016 at 06:10 PM by case44

It's time for some more this and that in this venture which I call Scattershooting. You bring the marshmallows, and I can add a few logs for the computer campfire. Just don't roast them too dark....

********

A big step in my life occurred, oddly enough, when I was busy at work this last work. I've been on the lookout for a few months on potential openings in other departments within the company in which I work. Guess what? A few days ago, something...

False Signs? AASHTO Says No Go On Interstate 14

Posted 07-17-2016 at 07:03 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

I never really thought this would work. This thing about connecting the U.S. forts and military bases with one interstate just wouldn't fly. So, the folks at AASHTO have had their say. U.S. Highway 190 in Killeen, Texas will not see any Interstate 14 signs anytime soon. Actually, ever. Traffic counts would be too low over the road's route, specifically in West Texas.

The idea was doomed from the beginning for what I believe is this reason: There are no...
