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. His 50% was telling me. My 50% was doing it. He was a fixture at my church and involved me in all sorts of things. Including organization of our "Civic Breakfast" where we invited leaders from the community for information and opinions of the community. It goes on and on. There were 260 people attending his funeral. He will be missed. https://www.crowellbrothers.com/obituaries/Elliott-Earl-Brack?obId=48440319

NASA Seeks New Frontier in Jet Engines I am off to work for a couple of hours this morning. It is a big job printing our new -------------. After that Bonnie and I are going to farm school at Cornell. We have some mini-seminars this afternoon. Fawna spent the night outside last night. The low was 48 degrees. I figured it is probably good for her.

Injuries Associated with Hazards Involving Motor Vehicle Batteries The other night we were wakened very quickly at about 4:00 am. There was an explosion in the house. It turned out that a car battery I had under charge in the radio room decided it had enough charging and it blew up. It was quite loud. It tossed another gel cell on top of it flying and split the case in half. Batteries do explode.

Slashdot | Opera Promises Voice-Operated Web Browser I am back from Florida. I got bumped on the way back so I got a free round trip ticket. I am not sure how I am going to use it yet. We will have to see. Fawn is still not all better. We are optimistic that the warmer weather that is supposed to start today will help a lot.
