Some morning thoughts

Benny Johnson set up a GiveSendGo for Holly, the woman who was beaten unconscious in Cincinnati. link below. If you can support, consider giving. Otherwise, consider sharing…

on Twitter, I saw that Charlie Sheen had given $1000. he made a joke about how he played a baseball player for the Cincinnati Indians… Funny enough, we just watched Major league.

Some jackass in the replies commented how he could’ve dug a little deeper in his pockets, having only given $1000. Just out of curiosity, I went to look up Charlie’s net worth. Though I suspect it’s way more, it’s now listed at $3 million. Down from its high at $150 million when he was on 2 1/2 men.

I was pretty shocked, though it did lead to this morning deep thought.

In bad times, we struggle to get by. in good times, we worry about losing what we have. you want to help as much as you can. There is always the nagging fear of squirreling as much away as possible, just in case. there is the constant pressure of making sure you have enough to provide for your family.

And then there is the fear of losing what you have.

And my deep thought was that when it comes to tangible assets, it’s not a question of if we lose what we have. We will inevitably and invariably lose what we have, if only because we can’t take it with us. so the fear of losing it on this earth, the unavoidable reality needs to be put in the perspective: We are not taking it with us, regardless, so we lose it at some point one way or the other.
it may not alleviate the unavoidable stress of existence, finances, bills… but it does put it into perspective in terms of the worst case scenario:

We’re going to lose all of our worldly belongings, one way or the other, sooner or later. 😂Just a question of what we do with it while we have it.

And understanding that all that we take with us is what we leave behind. mind blown

See you all this afternoon!

The most amazing fossil I have ever seen

This is at a place called Astro West.

Every time we come to New York, I go and imagine things I would buy if I were a billionaire.

Look at this fossil!

Apparently they are not locust…

But I saw the Florida giant grasshoppers, making babies!

Ugly diving championship

There’s a Tennessee river sporting event all weekend in Chattanooga.

Yesterday, we caught the “ugly diving” competition.

I actually missed the best of the ugly dives. Here is one by wave example.

Heading to the aquarium. Ethan playing around on the rock climbing wall. Watching some wakeboarding.

This place is beautiful.

I did a quick hit on Richard Syrette yesterday. Gotta keep Canadians apprised of the U.S. madness.

Burning the American flag

I’m curious to know how the community liens on this…

Do you think burning the American flag should be a criminal/statutory offense?
