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!

Greatest school level extortion…

It’s amazing that people think they will get away with such stupidity.

Also amazing that people can’t keep their Schmeckels in their pants.

Maryland Democrat state senator allegedly recorded two of her “critics” in bed together, and threatened to leak the video if they continued to criticize her.

The Barnes Brief: Halloween, 2025

I.   INTRODUCTION

A. Art of the Day

  • As harvest ends, we commence the remembrance of death itself, recognizing its role in the cycle of life, as All Hallows Eve awaits the All Souls Day to follow. Our Celtic ancestors, and many contemporary Mexican celebrants with their Day of the Dead, see the sun set into winter’s moon, and the souls of those alive and past dance in the foggy merriment, with the light & the darkness competing for the souls of us all.

B. Wisdom of the Day

  • “I have to study politics and war so that my sons can study mathematics, commerce, and agriculture, so their sons can study poetry, painting and music.” John Quincy Adams.

C. Cultural Recommendation

I.   INTRODUCTION

A. Art of the Day

A rainy day in a French café, enjoying an orange presse and a well-made latte, with a good book to digest, amidst the quiet conversations in neghboring tables, a place to disappear lost in thought amidst the soft tap-tap-tap of the water on the windowsill.  

B. Wisdom of the Day

“There’s always one more thing you can do to influence any situation in your favor—and after that one more thing, and after that…. The more you do the more opportunities arise.” Lieutenant General Harold Moore, born in the heart of Bourbon country and served in Vietnam.

C. Cultural Recommendation

A trip down memory lane, and how tactical blunders drove most of the nation’s mistakes in war. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6405098-the-folly-of-war
