Good morning Lucille, your pictures of the coast bring back so many wonderful memories of chasing countless adventures across the entire East Coast from Maine to Key West, Florida as many times if I wasn’t working you most likely found me at the sea shore.

Good morning, ernnburn! There were years when I would spend either Saturday or Sunday year round at various southern California beaches. My paternal grandfather rented a house on the beach in Ventura, CA. The smell of the ocean in the morning is wonderful.

I am more of a glass half empty kind of person, but I try. It helps to have grandchildren. Bald can be beautiful. Of course, the handsomest bald man I can think of was Yul Brynner. There is lots of hair in this house. My hair is white, Loki’s is black, so it is easy to tell the difference as it fills the vacuum.

Afternoon All. Beautiful out today. But, the temps are coming down, which I consider a good thing. I am still watching the tree outside my window as the leaves are slowly turning yellow. Fall is such a treat for someone who grew up in subtropical climates.
The biscuits and gravy on here yesterday made me crave some, so I made some and they turned out pretty well. I really enjoyed them.
Hope you all enjoy the weekend.

Publisher’s Clearing House
An iconic promotion filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in April. It was bought out of bankruptcy, but past winners are in for a shock.
https://www.nytimes.com/2025/09/12/business/pch-sweepstakes-bankruptcy-winners-unpaid.html
Those who relied solely on lottery winnings are in trouble.
In a statement on Friday, ARB Interactive said that it would cover only prizes awarded after July 15, including two “SuperPrizes” worth up to $2.5 million combined, and a $975,000 award on May 31.
“Federal court filings and interviews suggest the company once shielded prize winners from financial risk by purchasing prepaid annuities through banks or insurance companies. That practice ended sometime after 2003, said Darrell Lester, a retired Publishers Clearing House senior executive and author of a book about the company.”

This is so good, I had to share.
I keep seeing people post about how Charlie Kirk said he “hated the word empathy.” (I’m looking at YOU…. skinny-jeans, stool sitting, iPad reading, designer glasses preachers out there…..ok that’s rough, but you know I’m right. Right?)
Charlie’s point about hating the word empathy wasn’t that he despised compassion, but that he drew a sharp line between empathy and biblical compassion. “Empathy” as our culture defines it has become weaponized. It demands that you feel exactly what someone else feels and, in doing so, surrender truth, logic, and boundaries.
Still reading? Good. Buckle up.
“Empathy” today doesn’t mean caring for people. It means surrendering truth for feelings. It demands that we celebrate destructive lifestyles, affirm harmful decisions, and silence truth under the guise of “walking in someone else’s shoes.” The result? A culture more fragile, more offended, and more easily manipulated than ever before.
Real compassion calls us to love our neighbor, but also to tell the truth that leads to life. Toxic empathy, on the other hand, insists we affirm every lie, every delusion, every self-destructive choice or else be labeled hateful.
This is why families collapse. Why children are confused. Why leaders cave under pressure. Empathy, stripped from truth, becomes tyranny disguised as kindness.
We don’t need more fake empathy. We need courage. We need compassion rooted in truth. We need people willing to care enough to speak what is real, even when it hurts feelings. Because lies kill, but truth sets people free.
If you disagree….well I feel sorry for you. See what I did there? Love y’all.
