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,

Loud Lightning And Crashing Of Thunder
Posted 06-12-2016 at 06:52 PM by case44
And that was how the weather went a couple of hours ago, with heavy rain moving through my part of the world. As a matter of fact, this post almost didn't get written.
Oh, there was adventure, all right. Loud thunder, big lightning, the loudest and biggest of the season, and................we had the power knocked out for an hour and a half. Joy. The only thing we didn't have here was weeping and gnashing of teeth. What we had was a cluster of cells moving from west to east, and the biggest of those cells was east of my abode. No hail, thankfully, but we did have a few wind gusts. Tomorrow should see a little more rain but it shouldn't be a big deal, and then afterwards, it will be sunny. And.....also hot!
When that danged electricity does go out, it really gets oppressive in here. Time to go out on the porch just for some air. The things we civilians take for granted. Thankfully, I'll have the electricity and my electric alarm clock for in the morning.
