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,

Lots And Lots Of Chocolate In This-Here Stocking

Perhaps it's only fitting that, if in one year, I start with a chocolate post, then I can just finish another one with same. Hey, we've just had Christmas, and hopefully, Santa's been good to all of you.

One notable item, amidst everything else I opened, is chocolate. I mean, various candies and anything containing chocolate. My cousins absolutely went nuts (Sorry.... ) in getting the appropriate gift or gifts. So, they put in about six or...

Every once in a while, Case will go around and pick a sample of things written amongst the brethren and sisteren here on City-Data. I chose to delve into this particular thread because the poster (credible or not) posed an interesting thought.

Seems worth responding to it, and, so, I'd thought I'd give my two cents for an interesting discussion, as it should be when trying to set the record straight on today's issues affecting all of us.

Getting Leaves To Leave By Washing Them Away

Posted 12-28-2019 at 04:31 AM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

There was this funny sound in my car's air conditioner the other day. It was a flapping sound which went real fast. Luckily, the blowers still work, but the strange noise was rather easy to spot.

I guess it was time for a little fun out at the neighborhood car wash. Sometimes, falling leaves can fall into the areas beneath the hood, especially when my car is parked under some trees at work. And such had to be the case when the car made some occasional noises...

Didn't Like Your Christmas Present? Well, Head To The Store, Then....

Posted 12-26-2019 at 08:21 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

It didn't fit. That's the wrong color. It's just too long. I said, "a T-shirt....", not, "a sweater...." Chocolate and mint don't exactly go together. This is the wrong hat. Red, not orange. Purple, not blue. You got me cologne and I needed body spray. Now, what am I supposed to do with this? Did you keep the receipt?

Boy, you must have heard some dandies, didn't you? Maybe you were one of those who fell into the category...

427 And 640: Two New Highway Numbers To Look For In West Texas

Posted 12-25-2019 at 11:18 AM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)
Updated 12-26-2019 at 06:26 PM by case44

As it stands now, it's a long way from happening, but you can bet that highway gurus have these thoughts in the backs of their minds. Two West Texas loop highways, one full freeway and another about to be converted into one, are bona fide candidates for bigger and better things.

Like, for example, interstate designations.

It's not out of the realm of possibility. With Lubbock and Amarillo seeing the fruit realized on State Loop 289 and State Loop 335,...
