THE FLYOVER REPLAY,

Saturday, November 30, 2024,

Good Morning! On this day in 1876, the first Thanksgiving Day game between Princeton and Yale took place. Yale won 2-0 in a contest that resembled rugby more than modern football.

Welcome to our holiday Saturday edition! We’ve left it a bit shorter than normal to allow staff to spend time with family, and we’ll return tomorrow with our regular Sunday issue of The Flyover Replay.

We hope you enjoyed reading today’s Flyover. Let us know how we’re doing by replying to Russell Sherrard at russellsherrard@reagan.com.

The sponsors keep the tanks full around here. Be sure to check out today’s sponsors.

TAKEOFF,

Holiday Sales Rebound After Sluggish 2023,

Salesforce released a report showing that Thanksgiving weekend e-commerce sales topped $33 billion in 2024, a 6% increase over last year. The most interesting number? 72% of the revenue came from transactions on mobile devices.

Adobe released their own sales figures, showing that the U.S. alone spent $6.1 billion on Thursday, up nearly 9% from last year’s $5.6 billion.

With the increased popularity of online and mobile device shopping, the FBI has put together a do-not-buy list for Chrome, Safari, and Edge users to stay safe while searching for deals.

Salmonella Linked to Produce in 26 States,

Arizona’s SunFed Produce has recalled cucumbers sold in 26 U.S. states, including Walmart, Wegmans, and Albertsons, due to potential salmonella contamination.

The recall affects cucumbers sold between October 12 and November 26, and found on store shelves in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Alaska, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Florida, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Maryland, Minnesota, Missouri, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin.

Salmonella infections can cause fever, diarrhea, and stomach cramps, with symptoms appearing 6 hours to 6 days after ingestion and lasting 4 to 7 days.

QUICK HITS,

The Dow and S&P 500 recorded intraday and closing highs Friday during a shortened trading session, signaling investor optimism.

Severe weather disrupted post-Thanksgiving travel, with millions under winter alerts for snow and freezing temperatures across the Midwest and South.

Notre Dame Cathedral revealed its restored interior Friday, five years after a devastating fire, showcasing rebuilt ceilings and pristine stonework.

Scientists say a gang of orcas off Mexico’s coast has learned to hunt whale sharks, the world’s largest shark species.

And Now a word from our sponsor, Interactive Romans Road World English Version

Go to https:// payhip.com/ Christian NonFiction eBookStore then scroll down and click on Interactive Romans Road World English Version
Long Ago, when the Roman Empire was at the height of its glory, a common saying was “All Roads Lead to Rome.” I want to tell you about a very special road — a road that existed then and still exists now. This road, now almost 2,000 years old, has never led to Rome. Yet, strangely enough, it is called the Romans Road.
This takes the reader to selected passages in the Book of Romans in the Bible to explain the plan of Salvation. This is the ideal way to share the gospel using your Kindle. The reader can also read the entire book of Romans un-interrupted.
