BRACK: A new thought: “Thank God for Indiana”

BRACK: A new thought: “Thank God for Indiana”

But now, we have a new phrase: “Thank God for Indiana.” Indiana seems to be the poster child for the most divisive legislative bill passed this year, a state that has had its governor sign into law a bill that seeks to promote religious freedom, but many people feel legalizes discrimination.

BRACK: Enjoying a return to New Orleans and its parades

By Elliott Brack | New Orleans was our recent destination, one of our favorite cities in the USA, for after all, we had not been in several years. While you still see problems left from Katrina, the city seems to be enjoying a new vibrancy, moving forth as always, happily.

Boosted by continual tourism, which seems to have bounced back nicely, its prices for hotels, foods and trinkets remain high. Includes lots of Mardi Gras parade photos.

MYSTERY: Artistic stairwell

CLUE: It’s artistic, the entrance to a stairwell. The blue painting on the wall look much like stitches on a baseball, but don’t let this throw you off.

BRACK: Better tasting pork from happier pigs on this farm

BRACK: Better tasting pork from happier pigs on this farm

By Elliott Brack | The premise is simple: pigs raised on the ground instead of concrete pens are happier pigs and produce better and tastier meat. That’s the theory at Thompson Farms here in Dixie, Ga., where Andrew Thompson produces pork, selling almost all his production to Whole Foods stores throughout most of the South. There’s a local connection: he is the brother of Mike Thompson, an attorney in Technology Park/Atlanta at Peachtree Corners.
