  3. C.C. weren't you surprised at the number of solvers that didn't care? I really like the theme puzzles, because usually if you get one ....it leads your brain in that direction and you have an easier time solving the rest of the puzzle. Oh, well, I'll take any LAT puzzle. Sorry, they feel some of the puzzles need to be made easier. I like to have to stretch my brain and not just fill in the blanks.
    Thanks again, C.C. for your great blog!
