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,

Texas: A Place Where Bigness Is A State Of Mind

Texas is a big state, to say the least. Have you ever thought about the land mass in this great big state? Man alive! We've only got 254 counties, and that means, well, at least 254 stories from people who live in them.

When your bidness is bigness, Texas brings home the bacon. Some of the largest things to be found in America are located right here. Everywhere you look in this vast expanse, you will always find something big. Big hair. Big...

Turkey Time: The Holidays Are Upon Us

Posted 11-26-2014 at 07:06 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

The calendar in the kitchen doesn't lie. It's here. Time for people to be traveling the highways. Time for ovens to contain a turkey roasting. Time for families to gather around the table giving thanks and enjoying one another's company. Time for people in the Northeast to get stranded at airports....

Yes, it's that time of year once again. Ol' Case will be heading for work Thursday morning to get his eight in, but afterwards, I'm doing my Superman change,...

The Stinky Soap And The Sanitizer

Posted 11-25-2014 at 05:02 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)
Updated 11-26-2014 at 07:21 PM by case44

I thought my workplace was to try and improve things if people thought certain things were not right. Not too long ago, the restrooms in my office received a little bit of a makeover. When new, touch-free soap dispensers replaced the manual ones (which weren't that bad), the powers that be decided to put some new soap in those products.

The smell of that new soap was horrifying!!!

Egads, I thought soap was supposed to make us clean. I mean, what...

Memo To Protesters: Get Over This And Calm Down

Posted 11-25-2014 at 04:31 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

You've read about it and seen it on the news (some of the accounts by some reporters being read wrong to viewers). You've also seen the horrible events that have taken place in Ferguson, Missouri, last night. A grand jury has just made their decision on the Michael Brown-Darren Wilson case. Officer Wilson, who has since resigned from the Ferguson police force, will not be charged with murder in the line of duty.

Clearly, the officer did his job and reacted appropriately....

I-69 Update: Another Dot Connected, Another Mile

Posted 11-23-2014 at 06:07 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

In the Interstate 69 Texas waiting game, it feels like an eternity waiting for all the dots to be connected. South Texas just got a few more I-69 miles. One is near Edinburg, and the other, just outside Corpus Christi.

After AASHTO's big announcement last week, I-69C just got an extension some four and a half miles north of its current terminus, stretching that stretch to just north of the South Texas International Airport (that's actually a cargo facility and not...
