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,

Seriously, KFYO, You Need An Upgrade

As much as I've talked about things in or around Lubbock, Texas, I need to add one item to the list of the loot, so to speak. Radio in Lubbock is fantastic in some respects, but could use an upgrade in others.

KFYO-AM (790, but also on 95.1 FM) is a good radio station, but its news operation, ......well, ...........lacks. It just does, folks. Don't misunderstand, now; they've got a great tradition and lots of loyalty in the community as the go-to station...

Old Water Towers: Don't Ditch 'Em - Keep 'Em

Posted 01-23-2017 at 10:02 AM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

There's something quintessential about a small town, and that is the water tower. If you've seen small towns become larger suburbs, then sometimes, you get the hankering for nostalgia through the things that used to be.

One example is the old water tower in Little Elm, Texas. It still stands, but it's likely not used for water works anymore, as the town has grown and new water towers were constructed to meet a growing demand. Just because it's so doesn't mean...

I-69 Update: RGV Sign Project Nearly Complete

Posted 01-19-2017 at 08:41 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

All I needed, in part, was a YouTube video done by one of its subscribers. He'd taken some time to put a movie camera in his car and explore the roads of the Rio Grande Valley.

Oh, he had some nice footage. Part of that excursion included runs along Interstate 2 and Interstate 69E in recent months. Great stuff, too. It was just enough evidence that significant progress had been made on TXDOT's sign upgrades, both in the assurance markers for the highways and the...

The Best Part Of Winter Has Got To Be....

Posted 01-16-2017 at 08:22 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

....the highs in the 60s.

If nothing else, then it'll at least get people's minds off saying that they "can't wait until March", of which I happen to be one of them. This is a great change from 40 any day. And my area saw some sunshine, too, after a few dreary days. Your writer could not help himself today, as I just had to throw on my favorite Hawaiian shirt.

Every once in a while, I take a look at the Farmer's Almanac, which...

Scattershooting / Bagwell Finally Gets The Hall Call

Posted 01-15-2017 at 07:24 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)
Updated 01-15-2017 at 07:43 PM by case44

Gather around your neighborhood blog page, everybody, because it's time once again to do the here, there, and everywhere. It's time for Scattershooting, where you get things you won't get (well, probably won't) on the main City-Data forums or any other forum page. So, let's get some more wood to throw on our computer campfire; we don't want it getting too cold for you....

This past week, I came across something on MLB.com that I've...
