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,

case44

Obama's Amnesty Order: Bad For A Prosperous America

Posted 11-21-2014 at 08:37 AM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

Well, guess who spoke to the American people again? Yes, it happened last night, and, no, this writer didn't even bother watching or listening. Your pathological liar-in-chief known as Barack Hussein Obama decided to unlawfully act on his own to let illegal aliens come and inhabit our precious American soil. There will certainly be a fight put up by a number of Americans over this unconstitutional and unilateral maneuver by President Amnesty on Thursday, not the least of which...

Best Year For Band In Frisco? No Doubt It's This Year, Hands Down

Posted 11-18-2014 at 05:35 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

In seven high schools in Frisco, Texas, you'll get at least seven stories. And when it comes to band programs in each of the seven high schools, you will see that there's plenty of excitement in the place that I call The Winner's Circle.

Frisco ISD certainly embodies the look of a winner. Every precious one of those high schools garnered first division ratings at the UIL Marching Contest back in October. All of the shows were fun to watch. The best of the best were...

I-69 Update: I-369 Route Around Marshall Selected

Posted 11-18-2014 at 04:52 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

More workings are continuing with the Texas I-69 network of roads, and more progress continues to be made. Civic leaders and residents in Marshall, Texas, have gotten together and settled on a new bypass route for the new highway. And, no, it wasn't through rock-paper-scissors.

Here's the link by my friends at the Texas Alliance: Community Continues Looking at I-369 Route Options at Marshall

There's still some work to be done, but they've...

Frisco Playoff Football: Only One Still Stands

Posted 11-15-2014 at 05:44 AM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

Well, what a difference one playoff game can make. And that can be looked at three ways here. In District 9-5A (Texas), the high school playoff picture was thought to be rosy for two teams (Centennial and Wakeland). What we have here now is an unpleasant surprise if you're a fan of the aforementioned Titans and Wolverines. Frisco had three schools make it to the playoffs, two that were expected to make it (Guess who? The previously-mentioned two) and one that surprised a lot...

I Guess If It's Got To Be Fixed, Part Two: The Tire Caper

Posted 11-14-2014 at 05:17 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

If it weren't for the service professional at Discount Tire, I might not have known that I had been driving with a big nail embedded in my left rear tire. I knew a few days earlier, I had run over something on a nearby street with a noise and thud and thought nothing of it. It looked like a white wooden board or something, but I didn't have time to move out of the way.

Since that time, I was driving at high rates of speed for a few days while trying to get to work. ...
