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

How Sweet It Is: "Dublin" My Pleasure With DP

Posted 05-01-2009 at 07:33 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

If only I could post pics on this very website, I wish you could see the really good things in my life and in other people's lives. Yeah, I'm multi-talented and multi-faceted, but come on, even talented people have their deficiencies. What was it you wondered that I wanted to post?

Glad you asked, because I wish it could be the inside of my refrigerator. Okay, that's not impressive, but one specific item contained therein just happens to be. It's...

Spring Means Green All Around Me

Posted 05-01-2009 at 06:56 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

There are many benefits to spring weather. If it doesn't rain much during the winter months, then it's bound to do so a little more often once March rolls around. It's hard to believe that it is now May in the great state of Texas. So, spring means thunderstorms and locally heavy rains. The areas closest to where I live don't have any real dry ground and that means green grass and not...........well, not brown.

So, this very afternoon (May 1), as I was driving...

Case's List Of Favorites: Just What Are They?

Posted 04-25-2009 at 08:28 AM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)
Updated 04-29-2009 at 07:47 PM by case44

Since we have blog pages made available to all of us here on City-Data, I get to share things not normally revealed on the general C-D forum pages. And, personally, I think people would just get stinkin' bored if I did a thread entitled "case44's Favorite Barbecue Places" or "case44's Favorite Beach Destinations" or "case44's Favorite...."

I can just see you folks yawning in unison now.

Well, on Case's Column, we can...

Scattershooting Again/A New Name For One North Texas Tollway

Posted 04-25-2009 at 07:48 AM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

I'm at it again. Let's just kick this can around once again and see how many dents we can put into it.

********

Never in my wildest dreams did I even think that State Highway 121 would ever become like what I'm about to tell you. The corridor that is being built as a toll road between Coppell and McKinney (with some portions already complete) has recently received a new name. Because the North Texas Tollway Authority now has acquired this stretch of...

You Could Never Count Enough Raindrops In A Drought

Posted 04-21-2009 at 06:02 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

Wherever you happen to be right now, it may be raining with 60-degree highs or it might still be below freezing. It may be sunny, or for others, it may be mostly cloudy. Where I am may be the most fortunate place to be. But just a few miles away, fire dangers still persist in many areas.

It's like the areas west of Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas can't seem to get a break from dry ground conditions. We just had some good, soaking rains last week, but it seems...
