Elliott Brack

I went to Elliot Brack's funeral yesterday. He was a friend. And he was quite a character. He was one of the first people I met outside of work when I moved to Georgia. He was sort of a variation of the main character of Tom Wolfe's "A Man In Full". I used to say that Elliott and I had a 50-50 relationship. He told me what to do and I did it -50-50. He was a fixture at my church and involved me in all sorts of things. Including the organization of our "Civic Breakfast" where we invited leaders from the community for information and opinions of community. It goes on and on. He will be missed. https://www.crowellbrothers.com/obituaries/Elliott-Earl-Brack?obId=48440319

Christmas Santa coal Everybody has an angle. I mean it sounds sort of snotty to say it that way, but it is true. We all take a different vantage point on the fundamental truths, hence angle. Once we agree on what a fundamental truth is, it gets distorted. I remember when I was a very young kid I had a revelation, or an inspiring moment, that I understood and stated the nature of a postulate; "To know is to articulate." I remember it vividly. I have no idea where it came from. It has followed me my whole life. Today, I am thinking that "To articulate is to bring question." There seems to be a strange juxtaposition between these two arguments. I find both to be true.

llamarama pg 2 I finished what I set out to do this weekend. I put new rear brakes on the car, made the llama heater llamaproof and installed it, cleaned my bench, got firewood and a few other things I am sure.
