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

South Texas Surprise: New East-West Interstate Unveiled

Posted 05-19-2013 at 02:33 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

Every now and then, I'm constantly going either to the Interstate 69 Texas website or to Wikipedia. I'm always looking for some new news on the development of Interstate 69 through Texas. Last night, something was revealed that became a little bit of a surprise.

You see, for a number of months, we've speculated on whether a stretch of U.S. Highway 83 in the Rio Grande Valley area of South Texas would receive a 3-digit spur interstate designation (i.e. I-x69) or some...

The Spring Allergy: Something To Sneeze At

Posted 05-18-2013 at 11:14 AM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

Under usual circumstances, I always would look forward to spring because winter around where I live is boring as heck. Springtime hits, and with it come the usual trappings: Baseball, thunderstorms, warmer weather, flowers and trees blooming, people firing up the outdoor grills, more women wearing tights when exercising, me wearing T-shirts with regularity, golf on TV, .....

.......allergies!

I think I should readily confess that I've been allergic...

And Sometimes You've Just Got To Do It....

Posted 05-11-2013 at 06:17 AM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

Every morning when I wake up, it's mandatory that The Case prepare his coffee. I always get an air-tight bag of whatever flavor I want for that week. And each week, it's either Starbucks Colombian or Starbucks Pike Place blend. All great stuff, but this week, I wanted to save a few extra bucks. Since the supermarket did not have individual bags of Starbucks stuff, I decided I was craving some hazelnut, so.......

It was time to get the store brand's individual...

RGV Could Fly High With A Big Airport

Posted 05-09-2013 at 08:04 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)
Updated 05-09-2013 at 08:31 PM by case44

I'll preface by saying that this is just a thought. Later on this year, I plan to visit South Padre Island and the Rio Grande Valley in South Texas. It's a trip that's long overdue on my part, since I'm dying to see what life on the island is like (but without the spring breakers).

No, I am not planning to fly down there, as I'm a Texas roads fanatic and want to see the progress of the new Interstate 69 that's currently being pieced together along U.S. Highway 77....
