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 Big Day: Save America Or Lose America

Posted 11-07-2016 at 01:00 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

Today is the eve of a very important decision which Americans will be making. Already, the cable networks are gearing up on all cylinders with wall-to-wall coverage. Early voting is over in the states where it took place, and the real shebang will unfold at precincts nationwide tomorrow.

Of course, I'm only going to watch Fox News Channel or One America News to get decent-enough coverage without a lot of the leftist bias which continues to run rampant on NBC, ABC,...

You Can Call This "The Squirrel Game"

Posted 11-06-2016 at 06:12 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

Twelve men on the field? Did we miss something in this last NFL Draft? How many yards was it for that penalty?

Nope. You won't believe what it was.

Lo, and behold, in today's NFL game in Green Bay as the Packers played the Indianapolis Colts, we were watching..................

..........a squirrel running around in the end zone. A pesky little squirrel, running and hopping like any such creature usually does, disrupting play briefly...

Oh, Well - So Much For Pollo Tropical's Success...

Posted 11-06-2016 at 02:37 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

Can you say "too much, too fast"? Apparently, that's how the folks at Fiesta Enterprises felt after Pollo Tropical had experienced explosive growth, only to see moderate to low consumer business at a number of its locations.

I'll admit, I need to get back to that place, as the food items, Caribbean in nature, are intriguing. Problem is, some locations in my region will be closing. Can't say that I blame the uppers for this one, as they just need...

I-69 Update: Memphis And Mississippi Bypassed?

Posted 11-02-2016 at 09:29 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

Money will be hard to come by for some states in trying to get Interstate 69 constructed and completed in their areas. At the federal level, well, forget it. They've been out of green for a long time and won't have any anytime soon. This just leaves things up to individual states.

It's gotten so dire in Tennessee that the unthinkable might be happening: They may not be able to get a stretch of I-69 from Dyersburg to Memphis built. It's also reaching another point:...

Putman's Impact On Country Music Can't Be Overlooked

Posted 11-01-2016 at 06:38 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

Country music through the years has seen so many legends. They'd carry a voice or an instrument or a pen or, in other cases, two or all three of those listed. In any event, magic was going to be made.

Beginning in the 1960s, such magic was being made during the most explosive decade in country music history. A young fellow from Alabama gave his hand to the profession in that era and, for the next two decades, brought a new brand of poet to the genre. Curly Putman...
