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,

A Rare Snow Event In North Texas --- If For Just A Little Bit
Posted 01-12-2020 at 09:54 AM by case44
North Texas hasn't seen much wintry weather in recent years. In fact, it's been four years since we've even had any ice on the ground.
Yesterday, some snow was falling while I was at work. Snow. What a rare thing that is anymore, at least in my part of the world. Snow was falling outside. On my first break, I was seated inside the rotunda while about ten different co-workers --- and I'll never forget this --- all had gone outside to take film footage of the snow falling on their smartphones. A few of them gathered in groups to take group shots. And, of course, I chuckled. You just had to be there to see it. Moments like those had to be savored real hard because, by the time I'd gone to lunch, the snow had stopped. Then my second fifteen-minute break came along in the afternoon, and the sun had come out. See, I told you that it wouldn't last. The snow didn't stick, but sprinklings of it were visible on top of the shrubbery.
Considering that the almanac adamantly said that North Texas would have a mild winter, there were a few great moments to get out of a happy surprise. Fleeting, but happy nonetheless.
