Beware-Ticket Scam on Swap Meet

I never thought I would get scammed on Swap Meet- I posted I need one ticket on Tuesday. I got a text from a guy said his name was Zach. I sent the money via Venmo. He won't answer text messages or phone calls and has never transferred the ticket. The ticket was Section 6 Row 7 which Smokey_12 had posted in Swap meet.
Here is his phone number, 464-228-8275. The Venmo is his wife Vonita Perkins her Venmo is @sexymissvee82. Beware!!

OT: WTH? I guess we can all be "artists" now . . .

How many imitators will this inspire? Headed to the grocery store now. 🤣

From Axios:

4. 🍌 Million-dollar banana

Sotheby's is set to auction off a conceptual artwork of a banana duct-taped to a wall tomorrow, with an estimated price of $1 million to $1.5 million.​

• Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan's "Comedian" debuted at Art Basel Miami in 2019 and caused a stir over the nature of art and commentary. It sold then for $120,000.​

• The work is literally a banana from a grocery store, taped to a wall.​

🖼️ Between the lines: Even at the low end of Sotheby's estimates, the banana taped to the wall has risen in price by at least 733%.​

• Simply buying a pound of bananas at the store, however, has only gotten about 4 cents more expensive over the same period, Axios' Ben Berkowitz notes.​

Today’s Gift (11-19)

I understand about indecision, but I don't care if I get behind. People living in competition, all I want is to have my peace of mind. – Boston

Growing up I was enamored with sports. I loved football, basketball, baseball, golf, and track and field. I was very competitive, almost to a fault. I hated to lose or see my favorite teams lose.

When in business, same thing…I needed to be the number one sales rep, number one product in our category, and the thought of losing to my competition created many sleepless nights and anxiety. On the one hand, that fear of losing gave me great motivation, but the price paid was the constant angst in my gut.

It took my last 3 years of working under new owners to learn that all that angst was unwarranted. There is so much more to life than being “number 1”. All the awards and accolades have been discarded or are gathering dust. What really matters are the people in my sphere of influence who love and care for me plus the ability and opportunity for me to help them in any way I can.

Peace of mind is a much better place.

Interesting Facts regarding A&M

Everyone knows that we have played 118 games with them. UT sports a 76-37-5 record (67.25%)

Since 1960 UT is 32-20 against the Aggies. 17-9 in Austin and 15-11 at College Station.

But did you know:

In the entire series Aggies have won 27% of their 37 games from 1984 to 1994. (UT won in 1990) -- the darkest days of modern UT football.

In the entire series: UT has scored 40 points or more 15 times. Aggies - one time (1985).

Even more telling of the games that UT has lost, UT scored 30 points or more ONE time (2007) AND UT has lost only FOUR times scoring 21 points or more! (21, 21, 24, 30).

Dak 2025 Cap Hit

The cap hit for 2025 is $89mm. Will the Cowboys be a 4 win team next year? His cap hit for 2026 is $68mm.

What is the path forward for Dallas? This QB can’t currently walk and he will take >20% of the salary cap over the next two seasons till he drops to ~19% at only $62mm in 2027 and 72mm in 2028. When healthy he’ll be a 32 year old coming off a major leg injury.

It’s a total disaster.

Watching replays of games

I watch as many replays of college football games as I can.
Although the voting is incomplete, I feel safe at this point in pointing out that Kansas State has the ugliest female AND the ugliest male fans.

A lot of the males seem to look like the “Gingers have no souls” YouTube kid:

The females have a bit more variety, but a great percentage of them still look like they should be walking behind a plow.

OT - Christmas and other Holida gift ideas

Christmas and Black Friday are just around the corner, along with other gift giving occasions like my birthday and anniverary to the wife from Nam.

Thought it might be cool to share some good suggestions of popular and maybe some more unique gift ideas, bonus if you can provide a link.

Tenmokus - This one was a hit for my daughter(also from Nam). Pretty cool selection of tea/coffee cups and beer mugs. Price isn't bad and it came with a cool box.
