GAELS was utterly unknown, but ESP took care of that. And enjoyed there being few proper names. While I was logged on I had him give me a tune up and update paid for by my membership.Įnjoyed the BOOK ENDS theme which I got quickly. When my computer lost its audio my Geek slid the volume arrow back and forth and the audio returned. Thank goodness for the nerds in the Geek squad. I know most people pronounce every letter in U-R-L. This idiom originated in the United States around the year 1830. When the water it as high tide, the clams are protected from predation by birds. Google: The idea behind this expression is that clams are happiest when the ocean is at high tide. Yes adding "in high tide" makes happy as a clam more understandable. ![]() I didn't know Rooibas, glad oolong was included. OTOH, it can be resignation That is as good as it gets, can also mean AH WELL, that's the best we can do.ĭeceptively, salads are not always light fare. I needed the reveal to get the theme.Īs good as it gets often means ideal. Haaloolah, you come through with a delightful, funny, informative blog every week. But a white knight has come to its rescue and he promises a renaissance. Now over 40 years later the glory has faded and with the pandemic it has become like a ghost town. Then the Rouse Company built Harbor Place in 1980 and suddenly there was the National Aquarium, a new Science Center, shops, restaurants, and all was good. For a long time I said that Baltimore is a nice place to live, but I wouldn't want to visit it. Based on a true story of a real family.ģD CHARM. If you haven't seen The Durrells in Corfu, which streams on PBS, you are in for a treat. After careful research I have discovered that COW TIPPING is an urban legend.ġD CORFU. We estimate that the process will literally take years.Īnd thank you Hahtoolah for an informative and as always, entertaining, review.Ģ6A COW. We've been working on it for months now and have barely made a dent. As we begin the painful process of downsizing, they are the hardest things to part with: some will go to charity, others to our grandchildren, others to friends. I've always said that you can't have too many books, but their hold on our household space is finally coming to an END. Thank you Catherine for a delightful Tuesday puzzle. He is not on my list of favorite Yankees, though. Leo III, I typed in ARod without a moment’s hesitation as he is almost as ubiquitous in crosswords as Erie and Oreo. I also enjoyed the article on the Charm City origin. Loved the Easter Bunny’s baskets and all of the cute kitties. Thanks, Catherine, for a fun, smooth solve and thanks, Hahtoolah, for another fun fest. (No elves, Anon T!) Catherine didn’t stint on the CSOs, either: Moe and Lucina (Cacti), CC (Teas), Anon T (Alfa), IT Gang (Nerdy), and Bill W (Charm (City). Once again, we have a literal A Team (2D) with Lava, As A, Asea, Tada, ABBA, and Alfa and a mini-mini creature theme with Ant, Cow, Ape, Dodo, Ass, Lair, and Treats. Lots of fun pairings include Apu/Ape, Agar/Afar/Asea, Cow/Palace(s), Eno/Tunes, Amen/Pew, Cacti/Oases, User/URL, ASL/As A, All/Allow, Brr/Bundle Up, and Up/UPI. No w/os and only Lava, as clued, was unknown. I needed the reveal to see the theme and that’s fine with me. I envision interns at the law firm boning up on their research techniques by finding them. I must admit that, like Lemony, I wonder if you have help finding all those clever graphics week after week. ![]() And thanks to Ha2la for another fun tour. I always appreciate a little ASS in the fill. Thanks to "the other" CC for the fun Tuesday puzzle. My first trip to Pismo Beach showed me why. I always heard "happy as a clam" until I started hanging out with sailors they say "happy as a clam at high water". I'm so old that I remember when the ACLU defended the rights of anyone, regardless of their political view. I like that we had the DADS as both parents with Mayor PETE as another fill. SpaceX - I knew I had heard of that Musk guy somewhere. But I passed it by, then discarded the thought when ICE T filled our rapper quota. My first thought for "ludicrous" was 'rapper", and it fit. ![]() (But I DID love me some DREADS on Bo Derek in "10".)ĪBSURD. I thought that the whole origin of DREADS was that they were never groomed at all - no pick, no comb, no washing. DNK CORFU, CHARM City, ANT, "The Problem With", LAVA Beds Nat'l Monument (would have guessed it would be in HI), and loctician. FIR, but erased oH WELL when TORNADO blew in.
