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,

You Know That It Might Be Winter In Texas If....

....you see two guys playing sand volleyball without a net at the neighboring apartment complex.

Funny thing was, as I was driving by, it was only 58 degrees, but the sun was shining. Now, if this had been two days ago (when the high temperature was 83), then there would have been plenty of reason to get that big net out and have a few more folks out there spiking, serving, and volleying. Love me some Sun Belt!

Scattershooting Again / What Really Is In A Pronunciation?

Posted 01-10-2023 at 08:25 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

It may be a brand new year, but any time's a good time to do some Scattershooting, and there's more for us right here on City-Data, where it's great to be alive. Back again to bring you all kinds of stuff from here and there, plus every direction in between. You bring the popcorn. Better yet, you bring the butter to put on that popcorn.

Words can take on different forms of identity at times. Take the word "foyer", for example....

Bed, Bath & Beyond Just May Be Seeing Its Last Days

Posted 01-09-2023 at 06:43 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

Let's first hope that this subject matter is not overexaggerating. I bring this up because, when I did my Christmas shopping last month, along with fortifying some subsequent bathroom needs in my abode, I did notice that the Bed, Bath & Beyond store chain saw its supply count be a bit less than it was a year ago.

The following was taken from a thread entitled "Bed Bath and Beyond Dying A Slow Death"....

Suspense Builds On How The I-27 Split Will Be Named

Posted 01-06-2023 at 03:56 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)
Updated 01-06-2023 at 07:25 PM by case44

I'm bringing this up simply because no one has made it official yet. Not a peep thus far from AASHTO, the Federal Highway Administration, or, perhaps, from Congress.

Interstate 27's corridor through Texas has become law, so that much is certain. What still isn't known is the split between Lamesa and just north of Sterling City and the in-betweens traversing through Big Spring and Midland. How will the two segments be designated? Will the highway be I-27E for...
