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 finally got the blog working again. Not sure what happened exactly, but I had to work through all the DNS settings again. Here are some pics from iceland not taken with the drone. It is a very cool place. Almost every scene around every hill is something different as if it was part of a simulated experience and the creators aren't finished yet. At points it felt very post-apocalyptic. The rugged black-crunchy terrain, being in dense clouds after being in lonely expanses and the smell of sulfur was quite different from the everyday stuff.
