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,

Case's Thought For The Day: Maybe It IS Man's Best Friend

Posted 07-21-2023 at 05:12 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

Well, readers, I guess it's time for our Thought For The Day right here. Get a bite out of this if you can. This may be because your pet might possess something you don't have. Or, perhaps, it could be that that furry creature in your midst may make more sense than you do, given the right set of circumstances.

More Misheard Song Lyrics --- And This From The Country Genre

Posted 07-20-2023 at 04:06 AM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

If it's on my mind, then chances are, such things can get posted here on City-Data, where it's great to be alive. And this morning, I'm drawn to one particular song.

This came from around 1970, and it was by Jim Ed Brown. He was enjoying early success as a solo country artist after a number of years of singing with The Browns. Well, Jim Ed had recorded a song entitled "Morning", in which, the lyrics in the first verse set off a slight alarm....

Scattershooting / Longhorn Sports Get Reacquainted With An Old Radio Friend

Posted 07-17-2023 at 03:58 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

Well, welcome back again, thrillseekers. It's time for another Scattershooting go-around on your favorite blog page, where the here and there permeate the atmosphere (as well as the blogosphere). With the hot heat outside, this would be a good time to permeate exposed body parts with a little sunscreen or sunblock. Then again, you could have a cold swimming pool in your offing, so it's convenient to just dive on in. Let's hope so.

On we go!

I-69 Update: Just As I've Speculated For The Two Sides Of Houston

Posted 07-13-2023 at 04:25 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

Sooner or later, somebody was going to come out with some Interstate 69 designation news. Okay, so it's from Wikipedia , but, at least, it's still something.

For some time, I've been speculating on this blog page about two important stretches of what once was U.S. Highway 59 marching southwest and northeast of Houston, having been under reconstruction to fit an interstate-grade freeway, and about ready for its very next phase. It's going to happen. Two...

One Of These Days, I Need To Return To....

Posted 07-10-2023 at 11:34 AM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

....making some lists for Case's Column.

I'll do that in due course. Yesterday, after picking up my brother from Dallas Love Field Airport, we both stopped in nearby at a place called Heim Barbecue. As many of you know, Texas is a strong barbecue state, and Heim is just another classic example of how great we have it in the Lone Star State. My brother is in town this week to visit with family for his birthday and mine, and it was his recommendation to...
