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

In-N-Out Fever Hits North Texas - But Will The Hype Last?

Posted 05-21-2011 at 06:51 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

That's the question that your favorite blogger had set out to answer today. And there probably won't be an overnight answer to said hype, but you will get one regarding how my meal tasted if you read this a little further.

Nearly three years ago, another burger chain became a phenomenon when it made inroads in my fair burg. The name of that place is Krystal, which specializes in the small thin burgers served on what looks like dinner rolls a la White Castle. ...

Recent Vacation Reflections And A Few Thoughts

Posted 05-12-2011 at 07:57 AM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

Please forgive me if I haven't taken the time to reflect on my recent Austin trip, but we'll take a few moments and paragraphs right here since I actually have some time now. It was a wonderful time while I was there, and I sure needed the break.

Central Texas, as a whole, is a fabulous place for any traveler to make an excursion. Austin is certainly a big part of that. I decided to spend a full week down there doing what I do best: explore. Why not? Picture-taking...

Nothing Beats The Zest Of A Lemon

Updated 05-09-2011 at 09:34 PM by case44

It's yellow. It's sour. It does a lot of good things. I'm talking about a little citrus fruit called a lemon. Gorgeous little creatures, aren't they? Also very versatile, too.

Lemons in my kitchen have been sliced up to squeeze its juices in my glasses of cold water. Just do yourself a favor and don't get any of same in your eye or all over your hands. Sticky, sticky, sti -- cky. But have you thought about another part of the lemon that...

Scattershooting Again / Two Points Of Climate Change

Posted 05-09-2011 at 08:56 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)
Updated 07-26-2011 at 08:23 PM by case44

My goodness, is it time to do some scattershooting again?? Well, for me, I believe it is, so if you've got the marshmallows, we'll start our own computer campfire and I'll supply the coat hangers. And somebody bring a water hose to spray profusely around the campfire area..........

********

That's because my state still has burn bans going on, particularly in West Texas. High fire dangers still loom large, especially if the weather forecast...

A Place For Filters: How About The Bathtub?

Posted 05-07-2011 at 11:08 AM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

Filters always serve a proactive and effective purpose. There are all kinds of filters out there and about. Coffee filters. Air filters. Security filters. Filters for your internet system for all you parents out there who don't want your kids looking at porn or vile language. Face it, sports fans, there's a filter for everything!

Now, I look at the bathtub in my apartment (which also contains a shower faucet) and I keep seeing hard water stains constantly...
