🚨HOUSING MARKET IS GOING TO IMPLODE🚨

New reports show that existing home sales numbers are horrific with no signs of rebound.

- Mortgage rates are too high

- Home prices are too high

- Low rate homeowners frozen in place

- Inflation outpacing wages

The crash is coming.

@Batch40oz Good call. Took a week to clean up the remnants of that game after our son’s 13th birthday party. Ugh!!!

Great look at the breakdown of next year’s team.

New faces, same expectations. Cannot wait for this fall!

My thoughts on Milan Momcilovic's pro and portal decision, and how it's best not to think of this as the "NIL Era" of college sports but instead the "Salary Cap Era"

@TopTierIowaSt What’s up with Xzavion Mitchell? Guy never saw the floor this year even late in games. He was the only one who never got in Figured for sure he would transfer out

Rory McIlroy commissioned this pencil drawing after last year's Masters Tournament.

The artist (@KeeganHall) provided context on Reddit:

• Spent 6+ months working on it
• Estimates 600-800+ total hours
• Worked on it 6-7 days each week
• Uses a Pentel Graphgear mechanical pencil

Hall says this piece was incredibly challenging because so much detail went into such a small area. For context, the original is smaller than 30x22, so each face in the crowd is essentially a quarter of the size of a fingernail.

This is the second piece he has done for Rory.

@Hassel_Chris @keithmurphy @CBSSports So obviously it wasn’t a lack of talent at Iowa State which I think we all knew. Maybe it’s time we as fans demand some answers from inside the Iowa State program or ISUAD. Something isn’t adding up

This old lady handed her bank card to the teller and said "I would like to withdraw $10". The teller told her "For withdrawals less than $100, Please use the ATM." The old lady wanted to know why...

The teller returned her bank card and irritably told her "These are the rules, please leave if there is no further matter. There is a line of customers behind you."

The old lady remained silent for a few seconds and handed her card back to the teller and said "Please help me withdraw all the money I have." The teller was astonished when she checked the account balance. She nodded her head, leaned down and respectfully told her "You have $300,000 in your account but the bank doesn't have that much cash currently. Could you make an appointment and come back again tomorrow.?"

The old lady then asked how much she could withdraw immediately. The teller told her any amount up to $3000. "Well please let me have $3000 now." The teller kindly handed $3000 very friendly and with a smile to her.

The old lady put $10 in her purse and asked the teller to deposit $2990 back into her account.
The moral of this story is,
Don't be difficult with old people, they spent a lifetime learning the skill.!!
