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

I am learning Chinese. Yep, thats right. It seemed like the thing to do. Here is a great link for a flashcard program The cat turned out not to have a tumor but a very large fully engourged tick! I certainly learned something. The other night she was playing with a stuffed mouse upstairs and I saw a real fully animated version downstairs. Something was wrong with that picture. India is getting into the Automotive industry.

It has been a while since I last posted. I put the electric car project on hold for a while. We were having some issues with the male cats (Amos and Archie) so they are no longer in the house. The female cat has a tumor (Amy) on her head so she goes to the vet tonight. The chicken that was sick (broken leg) is all better. That was the first chicken we saved. Often times when they get sick the other chickens will kill the sick one. The chicken culture is harsh, but almost understandable from a physical standpoint. I mean if the sick one is killed it is a flock purification effort. The Arian chicken flock as it were. Chicken Eugenics in action. They are very mean to each other thats for sure. Today it is the 50s. Last week it was 10 below zero (maybe colder). Tommorow it is supposed to be in the 60s!. Here is a picture of me with my new non-beard look at work. And it all goes on.
