I just read a book about NZ entitled, "The Land of the Long White Cloud", by Sarah Lark. From that book I understood that this is an unusual phenomena often seen over that country.<br /><br />P.S. The book and the second in the series is very compelling if you like historical novels. They kept me reading until I was too blind to read at 7 a.m. I recommended them to a friend who had visited NZ. She was griping about reading all night also.PKnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-54669091501815330132014-02-14T18:59:04.960-06:002014-02-14T18:59:04.960-06:00HG, he made dinner for me.

Dudley, congrats. <br /><br />No real problems with the puzzle, but I missed the theme with the U being moved. <br /><br />CVS ? Buy a pack of chewing gum and get a receipt that's a foot long. <br /><br />We're supposed to get another 1 to 3 inches tomorrow. Not much, but I'll bet drought stricken Californian would take all of the moisture that's been dumped in the midwest and east coast. We can all expect food prices, especially fruits, vegetables and nuts) to rise this year.<br /><br />I reloaded my captcha multiple times. No Valentines specials for me. I rarely get numbers either. <br /><br />Thanks to Lemonade for the nice writeup. I saw some of the anon complaints. If I ever did the writeup there would be a revolt with my attempts at explanations. Plus, I would miss the themes. <br />TTPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03978803962510303498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-72119031606221870882014-02-14T18:15:06.488-06:002014-02-14T18:15:06.488-06:00Buck eye bob @1:29 PM

May's catch robbing Vic Wertz in Game one of the '54 World Series, Thomson's Shot heard round the world, so many Yankee & Dodger big moments but the best part was the beginning.

We are ...Thanks for all the kind remarks, Puzzlers! We are enjoying the new place, but we can't seem to believe how discombobulated we are. Avg. Joe, we have a million undone things, and we've been warned that many will stay that way forever. We hope to break the average a bit, but still...<br /><br />PK (the real one, no doubt) - yes, it was snowing like mad when we started schlepping in enough supplies to stay here, but it's not that drastic. Our old place is just three miles away and it's not on the market yet. We chose to move gradually just to make it more manageable.<br /><br />Spitz- Beautiful scenery! It's rare around here to have a cloud layer that's so smooth both top and bottom, but I've seen it occasionally. The transition from clear weather on top to cloud below is always kinda fun. You probably noticed there was significant time compression on that video; an instrument approach actually unfolds more gradually, with less of a sense of danger.Dudleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07587399549104728305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-85764400630419077292014-02-14T17:49:53.454-06:002014-02-14T17:49:53.454-06:00Musings 2

Thank you, Xan Vongsathorn, for a fine puzzle. hank you, Lemonade, for a fine write-up.<br /><br />I have been absent from the blog for a few days, but have done the puzzle on all of those days. I am in Pennsylvania and have been very busy. Getting on the blog is not as easy here as it is in Chicago.<br /><br />happy birthday, Marti, and many mo<br /><br />Thought this puzzle was very good. Enjoyed it.<br /><br />Caught part of the theme, but missed the anagram part until I got here. I thought the U's were it.<br /><br />I think my wife and youngest daughter have IPOD NANOs.<br /><br />I wonder of Lady Grey is any relation to Earl Grey, my favorite tea.<br /><br />GORP is well known to me. I spent two summers eating it on the Appalachian Trail. My mother, who I hiked with, made it. It tastes chocolatey and is chewy. Supposed to be full of energy and not very heavy to carry, a big concern on the Trail. We have had GORP in puzzles before.<br /><br />I thought the two grid spanners were great.<br /><br />I enjoyed Hugh LAURIE in House.<br /><br />Liked your video Spitz. Wonder what kind of airplane that was?<br /><br />I was heading to Virginia from Pennsylvania, but called off that part of the trip due to the weather. Cannot take a chance of getting stuck there because of my class on Tuesdays. Heading back to Illinois this weekend.<br /><br />OwenKL: The Scottish Rite "Rite Aid" must be part of the Southern Jurisdiction. I have never heard of that in the North.
