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

It's a work in progress. And, as I write this, this particular road is about 97% complete, what with some touch-ups, signage, and final connecting road work left to be done.

I'm talking about Fort Worth's new Chisholm Trail Parkway, the downtown-to-Cleburne toll road with a parkway feel to it. Your writer decided it was time to go out and take a test drive on it. The road has some good city and country scenes along its route. It is intended to begin at Interstate 30...

Here's To You, Mothers ---- Enjoy Your Day!

Posted 05-10-2014 at 07:25 AM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

That time is rolling around the bend once again. Later today, I'm going to take some time and spend it with my mother. I'm doing it this morning because I have to work tomorrow, and secondly, she wants brunch. Reservations for two were already established at a local restaurant halfway between our abodes. Problem solved.

Online, too.

You've probably guessed it by now. Sunday is Mother's Day!

Hope you folks out there...

How To Negotiate? Bang On The Candy Machine

Ever have a George Constanza moment at your nearby snack machine? If you've seen the TV show, "Seinfeld", then you know what I'm talking about. That fateful few seconds where you put some money in the machine, press a few buttons, and then wait......

.....for the candy bar not to fall to the dispensers below. That's because the spiral wiring that holds the candy bar to the shelf is not letting it go. What's a guy a work to do? Well, a few days ago,...

I-69 Update: The Push For The Corpus Connector

Posted 05-03-2014 at 06:56 AM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)
Updated 05-03-2014 at 07:15 AM by case44

It was announced yesterday that a bill is being initiated to get Texas' State Highway 44 to become part of the Interstate 69 network in Texas. Even after the bill passes, Highway 44's conversion to interstate standards would have to be put on the back-burner for the time being, as other projects have to take a little more priority. When it does become complete, it's going to provide a fast, efficient route to move goods (and, perhaps, tourists) from Laredo to Corpus Christi and vice...
