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,

case44

A Year From Now, This Writer Turns Fiddy - Hard To Believe

Posted 07-21-2015 at 08:55 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

Hold off on mailing your writer that year's supply of Geritol.....

At least, my hair hasn't turned white yet. It's actually a sexy silver. I just turned the big 4-niner a few days ago, and next year, I'll be ................(gulp)....fiddy! I've done the celebration for this latest one already, and it was a good time by all. But next year? My mother's plan will be gathering all the relatives we can find and do a big hoedown at a local steakhouse. We did...

Cussing Is Everybody's Bleepin' Problem

Posted 07-19-2015 at 03:40 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

We're all surrounded by it, so much to the point where you won't be able to take time to cover your children's ears. It becomes a habit with many, regardless of the reason we do it. Some folks do it and know it's wrong but are just in a bad habit just because everybody they're surrounded by harbors it, and there are others who do it rather profusely and don't think it's wrong at all.

What could it be, you ask?

People just cuss and swear a lot, and...

KOKE-FM Taking The Bull By The (Long-)Horns

Posted 07-18-2015 at 06:36 AM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

I didn't see this coming. For about twenty or so years, the Texas Longhorn Sports Network had their flagship on Austin's KVET-AM (1300) and FM (98.1) and it looked like it would stay that way for a while. Thought that, come contract renewal time, they'd stay with KVET and iHeartRadio.

And then along came Bob Cole, KOKE-FM (99.3, 98.5, and 1490AM), and the Austin Radio Network.

I honestly don't know how they managed to pull it off, but they did....

Looks Like Texas Is Finally Getting A Break From The Rain

Posted 07-16-2015 at 08:25 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

Summer is here, and the weather is now doing what it's really supposed to do in Texas at this time of the year: No rain and heat so hot, you can fry an egg on the top of your car. What's important to know is that there's no rain going on right now.

We had wet months in May and June, and experts have said that this is an El Nino year. They may well be right, and the early part of fall is expected to be just as wet as May had been. We'll deal with that rabbit...

Please Move Up To The Window? Better Hold That Thought

Posted 07-13-2015 at 02:40 AM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)
Updated 07-13-2015 at 04:25 PM by case44

A few days ago, I took a drive through The Colony, Texas, and saw a change being made to one of the local buildings. For years, it had been a bank. You know how banks have these extended sections for drive-through service.

Well, I drove by the other day and saw some demolition equipment. They're tearing down that drive-thru segment. Sorry I don't have a picture for you, but that shot would have been priceless. The rest of that building probably will remain...
