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,

The Solar Eclipse Happens Next Monday
A big event is going to happen in one week. We have not seen such a big doing in, oh, about 760 years.
And it would be dangerous to try to see it because you just can't look directly at it. I'm talking about the solar eclipse. Yep. Next Monday, the solar eclipse will be visible, in full, in many parts of the United States. My area will just get a partial. Telescope jockeys and stargazers will sure have a field day, but anyone can try to take a moment without all the peripherals and attempt to view the eclipse.
Excuse me while I sing a little something....
Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy
Sunshine, almost always, makes me high....
Yeah, almost always. But for a few moments, and this won't happen for a long time, next Monday will offer an opportunity to have a little fun with science and our God-given solar system.
