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,

Earliest Spring In 124 Years, And Very Rare
Posted 03-21-2020 at 07:32 PM by case44
Spring has sprung, all right. It happened with just a few minutes left on March 19. Usually, when we have spring at such....
Did I just say March 19??
Not that that's a bad thing; after all, your writer had been waiting all winter for this. March 19 is our equinox this year. For the first time in 124 years, the aforementioned happened. Interestingly, an article I've read in the almanac also states that we will not see another March 21 equinox until 2101. And I've always thought that spring usually began on March 21, but that hasn't always been so. Most of the time, it happens on March 20. Many of the trees in my complex have not had leaves drop from them this past winter. Should be a green spring as it is.
Just glad it's now here. Yes, even in a non-normal year, spring is always a welcome sight.
