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,

I-69 Update: Just A Rumor, But Not A Priority Yet

Posted 05-08-2015 at 08:12 AM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

Could South Texas see another interstate connection along the planned I-69 route through the Lone Star State? Well, it's just a thought now, but this could be considered at some point.

I've got a link to the I-69 Facebook page, and there are mumblings of a potential route through the ports of Corpus Christi. Take a look at this.

Message To TXDOT: Leave The Pierce Elevated Alone

Posted 05-08-2015 at 08:03 AM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

By now, some of you fellow Texans out there may have read stories about Houston's planned widening of Interstate 45 through North Houston. That project also includes a controversial plan to refunnel 45's traffic along I-10 and I-69 around the north and east sides of Downtown Houston, respectively, and part of that includes a possible dismantling of the Pierce Elevated, I-45's current connecting stretch from the North Freeway to the Gulf Freeway through the southwest part of downtown....

Kool 98: The Last Of Texas' Great Oldies Stations

Posted 05-05-2015 at 03:54 AM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

It was probably the last one standing, since many markets have seen transformations of radio stations that once played '60s music into '70s-'80s formats. Until about three years ago, a station in Lubbock, however, still played the oldies the way they were meant to be played.

KKCL-FM (98.1), previously known as Kool 98, used to have an extensive playlist of tunes, the big hits and the songs you never hear anywhere. In fact, there were songs I'd never, ever heard...

Rather than just retype something over again, I'll do the honors like this. I just wanted to share with you something that's really been long overdue on that cyberspace outpost known as Case's Column.

Here's a post from our Music forums to share with the world.

What's Happening To My America, And When Will This Madness End?

Posted 05-02-2015 at 08:56 AM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)
Updated 05-02-2015 at 07:24 PM by case44

I live in a nation which is supposed to be set apart from all the other countries in this world. Exceptional. Free. Where you can dream dreams and live life. Where we are protected from the harm of enemy nations.

Where did it all go?

Because some folks didn't take the time to learn more about the candidates who run for high office, we are paying a dear price for a lack of knowledge. That said, I don't have to tell you about the events of the last six...
