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

From Flurries To Falling Snow, Mother Nature Laughs Loud

Posted 02-06-2014 at 08:40 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

The forecast was more promising yesterday than it was this morning. That is, if you prefer warmer temps outside. But what about the forecast for today? It once called for flurries. What we got instead in Dallas was a little more than a dusting of a half-inch of new-fallen snow.

Doggie, it's cold out there! Try an early-morning low of 17 degrees. Caution is advised on area lakes.

Oh, I got home okay after the snow fell while at work,...

So I've spent my life watching too much television. Now that I've seriously cut back, what does this writer end up doing? Get on his computer and...............watch YouTube!

Oh, the things I do for this blog.....

But have any of you out there noticed some new things popping up on YouTube in recent days? I'm seeing entire episodes of TV shows, past and present, that are now available on YouTube. Never, way back when, would I have ever...

I-69 Update: Northeast Texas Connection Slowly Progressing

Posted 01-27-2014 at 04:38 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

There hasn't been much news lately on Interstate 69 through Texas, but I did run into an article in one of the local publications in East Texas. The subject of this is basically what the town of Carthage plans to do with the new I-369 when new construction commences in that area.

Now, where Carthage is concerned, a decision just needs to be made about which side of the town's loop to build on. I'll have a link that will detail it for you below. Also brought up is...

Old Man Winter Has A Way Of Changing Your Life ---- Really

Posted 01-23-2014 at 08:02 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)
Updated 01-27-2014 at 06:47 PM by case44

Once upon a time, I was supposed to be planning a simple road trip to Austin, Texas on a future Saturday. This Saturday, to be precise. And, as with anything I plan to do, I have to see what the weather is going to do, as such can impact a trip one makes. For the length of the excursion, I need decent enough skies, sunshine (after the sun comes up), and dry road conditions. After all, it's just a pre-dawn-to-late-afternoon drive to Central Texas.

And the...

I Can't Resist A Little Surprise

Posted 01-21-2014 at 05:34 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

The following video should have been available for a potential Sunday Funny which I'll bring you from time to time. But since I've got it for today, I think it'd be prudent to share it with you right now, and while I'm going to still have it available. Why? Because I like you.

Here's something to get a little laugh at. We all like to laugh at things we don't really expect in certain situations. What I'll be showing you below fits the current et al to a tee. Here,...
