No problem with the altitude. 'Course I live in Santa Fe, where we refer to ColoSpgs as part of "the lowlands." *snicker* We couldn't get the train going up, as it was already filled, so decided to risk driving it. We had to stop twice on the way up.

Damned plumbing.<br />-Beatings from my closet still indicate you’d make a helluva Hooter Inspector, my friend. <br />-Buckeye, I always think of a unifier as existing as a primary construct of a puzzle except for themeless Saturday’s. It guides the usually clever entries that are folded into the puzzle batter. A <i>reveal</i> is what a constructor might add as another clue to give you the <i>theme or unifier</i> on Monday – Friday and Sunday. If the reveal is not included, as today, in the puzzle, “some assembly is required” (but not necessary).<br />-Bill, we did show <i>Akeelah and the Bee</i> to our 7th graders every year for all the wonderful messages in it.<br />-…and this is the answer to yesterday’s question about the movie where Eli Wallach was a GRAVE DIGGER and that had what some call <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1PfrmCGFnk" rel="nofollow">the best movie theme ever.</a>Husker Garyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09980336006827988210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-74314720136431889942014-01-07T15:58:03.766-06:002014-01-07T15:58:03.766-06:00not a doc, thanks very much; I needed that.
