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,

Hinch Gets Back On His Feet In The Motor City

Posted 10-30-2020 at 07:41 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

It was just a matter of time, but once A.J. Hinch was finished serving his one-year suspension tossed on him by Major League Baseball over some very unfortunate circumstances which occurred while he managed my Houston Astros, another club started taking an interest in him.

Those rebuilding Detroit Tigers are making a run by nabbing A.J. Look, he did have success in Houston, and he didn't win all those games by accident. Now, he gets a fresh start in a new place, and...

TV Flashback: Who Would Have Thought Temperatures Rising Would Oust Bonanza?

Posted 10-30-2020 at 07:15 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

Those of you who are fans of long-running television series sometimes might see the unthinkable happen to your favorite show. While, as a kid, I only occasionally watched "Bonanza" when it was on the network (and later in syndication), many Americans did watch it. In fact, it was one of the top-rated shows of that particular era.

I mean, Bonanza, the Cartwrights, Carson City, the blazing Ponderosa map, and Little Joe ruled the airwaves on NBC-TV for...

Oklahoma Needs To Fix A Quirk In The Interstate System

Posted 10-26-2020 at 08:18 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

I've pointed out in an earlier blog post about Interstate 49 in Arkansas having a quirk in their mile marker inventory and how that needed to be rectified. Well, get ready for a humdinger in neighboring Oklahoma, because state officials need to unwrinkle a disjointed interstate.

The road does go all the way through, folks, but that's not the issue here. The problem is another numbering and priority discrepancy. You'll find it where three converging highways, a turnpike,...

Biden Should Just Stay In The Basement ---- Forever

Posted 10-26-2020 at 05:48 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)
Updated 10-26-2020 at 06:02 PM by case44

My, my, my. I've never seen such an embarrassing display of incompetence than from what I've seen in what passes for today's Democrat Party. Oh, they had their chance to get Tulsi Gabbard, who is the only decent person that party has, but nooooooo. Today's left just doesn't want her.

They've just got to be regretting that mistake if they are going to mount a serious campaign effort against Republican President Donald J. Trump, who should have no problem cruising...

Impending Time Change Means Thanksgiving And Christmas Are Around The Corner

Posted 10-24-2020 at 09:40 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)
Updated 10-24-2020 at 10:25 PM by case44

This goes through my mind every year. In just a few short days, we'll be about ready to set our watches, clocks, and timepieces back one hour. There we go with that extra hour of sleep (which is the most important thing ), the earlier sunsets, and the colder temperatures, but we also know that the holidays are right around the corner.

Thanksgiving and Christmas. They're coming. My mother is too old to cook (with all due respect), and Ol' Case will be picking...
