ASAP - how delightful. <br /><br />Only issue with the puzzle today was 44d's melon - I wasn't thinking old lady - really - just Cantaloupe - but no go. Never heard of a CASABA(S). Yeah perps!<br /><br />HAIR DROP - same issue, but was fine with it until Argyle (Thanks!) ERASED my SORTed thoughts. Same issue with PERSE - WTF? PaRSE maybe - nope EARL is solid. Oh, PER SE. Duh. I liked seeing ERLE across the grid - so well done C.C.<br /><br />Anon - MOI? The shtick? I certainly hope not.<br /><br />C. Moe - "I Hope Wednesday's not a bear..." My $.02.<br /><br />H.G. Hurts to think of FIL's tree - same outcome as he :-( It was potted and just couldn't stand the Houston heat.<br /><br />Thanks C.C. & Argyle - loved the puzzle and love this blog. Day's not complete w/o both.<br /><br />Cheers, -T<br />//Any spelling errors are mine - the iPad is not doing it job w/ EDITS...Anonymous Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00459563526290288425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-78657836986406845392014-08-19T22:11:22.295-05:002014-08-19T22:11:22.295-05:00I just got another unwanted phone call from Linda ...I just got another unwanted phone call from Linda who was offering her neighbors free Bible study.

Thank you, Argyle, for a fine review.<br /><br />Well, I was solving this puzzle on the train this evening And was so engrossed I missed my stop. Got off and caught the next outbound train to Medinah, where I was getting off. That is not the first time I have done that.<br /><br />Puzzle was swell. Zipped through it. Theme was fine. All came together when I was done and had a chance to examine it.<br /><br />Liked ERLE. I think I read every Perry Mason book as a youth.<br /><br />CASABAS was not known. Perped it.<br /><br />I use Airplane MODE constantly. It disconnects me from the Internet and saves me minutes on the IPad. With my phone it saves me battery.<br /><br />I cannot remember the last time I had a MOUNTAIN DEW. I am not a pop drinker.<br /><br />Not sure I am familiar with RIFF. In a brass band we do not see that stuff (I think).<br /><br />Hope to do the puzzle earlier tomorrow. I have a Gardeners' Potluck to go to for lunch and a Lobster Fest/Steak Fry in the evening.<br /><br />See you tomorrow.<br /><br />Abejo<br /><br />(camiocam)Abejohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10318111258011554517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-23622596179876942892014-08-19T22:01:42.072-05:002014-08-19T22:01:42.072-05:00Average Joe... glad your friend is ok...

C.C. has provided us with another romp in the Crossword world.<br /><br />I especially liked the picture of Ojai today. Our favorite southern Calif. town. It must have been very early in the morning as I've never seen the street so free of cars and people! Our children lived there for over 25 years and moved just this last Apr. We'll miss going down to visit them, but will probably go to Ojai just for the fun of it. It is a marvelous little town.<br /><br />Lots to do today.<br />Have a wonderful rest of the day, everyone.Chickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18116766478313653724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-62545018700909015892014-08-19T15:48:37.382-05:002014-08-19T15:48:37.382-05:00Gary, the tree memorial is such a nice gesture.
