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

New Driveway! and Contemporary Logistics

Another couple pics of my new driveway going in on the farm. I dont know about you all, but I get package deliveries and I have no idea of what they are when they arrive. I seem to have some dual thinking. I am usally thinking "where is that thing? Did I order it? Did I plan things right?" And at the same time the stuff I am "waiting on" arrives before I am really waiting. The parcel delivery thing is so fast these days it seems crazy. I can see the discussion of the future (maybe now). "Whadaya mean--- I ordered that blanked-blank DAYS ago! I can't belive these delays!" Maybe I am just of the generation where we mailed in a bunch of box-tops from cereal boxes (to places like Battle Creek Michigan) and had to wait something like 9 weeks for essentially a cracker jack toy--- even if "cracker jack toy" has meaning anymore.
