Then we went out to Robio's for fish tacos for lunch. Then a short bike ride and a macchiato. Then an hour of tutoring a student in 2nd-year algebra and now back to puzzling. But first, here's a very enjoyable video for you animal lovers. It's about a dog who's best pal is a deer.

I've been told there are five realtors for every house for sale in Santa Fe. I've done nothing since Christmas. I need to find a new qualified broker.<br /><br />CrazyCat and Irish Miss, I can't figure out how to play Words With Friends. Are there rules somewhere?<br /><br />Yes, Marge, I've lived in Santa Fe since 1986. The first twenty yeas were all in the same house. Now I live nine miles south of town off of Turquoise Trail--eight miles north of Madrid. I, also love it here.<br /><br />Fun puzzle and great write-up. Thanks Pamela and Argyle.<br /><br />Happy Birthday Spitzboov and happy spring to all.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12382314731552481050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-41452461008944630762012-03-20T18:17:03.375-05:002012-03-20T18:17:03.375-05:00Gay cowboys wearing female clothing!

You should go into town and kick up your heels." The hired hand readily agreed and went into town one<br />Saturday night.<br /><br />One o'clock came, however, and he didn't return.<br /><br />Two o'clock and no hired hand.<br /><br />Finally he returned a round two-thirty, and upon entering the room, he found the rancher's widow sitting by the fireplace with a glass of wine, waiting for him.<br /><br />She quietly called him over to her..<br /><br />"Unbutton my blouse and take it off," she said.<br /><br />Trembling, he did as she directed. "Now take off my boots."<br /><br />He did as she asked, ever so slowly. "Now take off my socks."<br />He removed each gently and placed them neatly by her boots.<br /><br />"Now take off my skirt."<br /><br />He slowly unbuttoned it, constantly watching her eyes in the fire light.Lemonade714https://www.blogger.com/profile/13642909374639570868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-86662963941427616122012-03-20T17:30:39.458-05:002012-03-20T17:30:39.458-05:00Part I:

I worked at a Cadillac dealer after high school,and they bought a 1958 eldorado that had suicide doors and a brushed aluminum roof for the showroom floor. Krispy Kremes are a southern thing we used to sit in their parking lot and wait for the HOT light to come on before going in. So good when they are fresh out of the fryer. have a great day to all and welcome to Fla.Dennis.

To me it is asking what the whole answer not just a word. Front pocket, double doors? Barn storm, double doors? Etc. 8d is asking for creator not who is continuing the comic strip. Answers like halogen, Amado and accede (IN A WAY) make today sort of a difficult one. But if the 60A clue is leaning on the words IN A WAY, then this is definitely not a tuesday puzzle.

I had been very involved in state water issues, so was very excited to stumble onto this.<br /><br />Does anyone else like "Dancing With the Stars"? Fun premier last night. As close to partying as I get.<br /><br />Watched "Descendants" later--major bummer! I would have turned it off, but hated to leave George struggling on alone. Kept hoping for a happy ending. Sure didn't get one. Too close to personal experiences for comfort!
