But we walked boardwalks, we did. Living in Delaware at the time, as a young boy (not yet 7 years old) I fondly remember spending summers at Lewes Beach, with occasional visits to Bethany Beach and Rehoboth Beach. Uncles, aunts, cousins, and we loved our times at my uncle's place on Barnegat Bay, near Forked River, NJ. Around here, you can't swim in the Pacific Ocean, as it is too cold and too dangerous.<br /><br />Love edamame beans!Jaycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15906163232315177399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-82764190203642879762012-09-03T18:17:03.136-05:002012-09-03T18:17:03.136-05:00Here in the Southeast PA and Delaware-Jersey, the ...Here in the Southeast PA and Delaware-Jersey, the Weather anchors usually shorten it all to "downna shore".

On the other hand, the one piece on the model shown by CED@ 1:08 is cute for the few who have the figure for it.<br /><br />"Down the shore" refers to the entire experience: the boardwalk, the ocean beaches, the bay beaches, the barrier islands, the casinos, the bars and restaurants, the whole nine yards. It is not just the beach or the coast. For me the strangeness is the omission of the word TO. " down the shore” not “down TO the shore.”Yellowrockshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09590216912123103432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-42546652658276032762012-09-03T17:08:27.243-05:002012-09-03T17:08:27.243-05:00desper-otto 1:59, your story made my day, and you ...desper-otto 1:59, your story made my day, and you and your wife are total heroes in my book!

Pretty much my only false start was to put false in for 42A, even though I knew Ed Ames. Funny how the mind works. Hahtoolah, I love that clip. Never get tired of it.<br /><br />For 9A I wrote in IT and then checked the perps to see if the other letters were going to be ISI or SME.<br /><br />Yellowrocks, when we lived in Pennsylvania we said "go down to the shore" all the time. When I went back there once after having been away for many years, it sounded funny to me to hear someone say "the shore." Out here we say "go over to the coast" or "go to the beach." Nobody here ever sells sea shells by the sea shore, I guess.<br /><br />Best wishes to you all.Jaycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15906163232315177399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-90702229654953519132012-09-03T16:24:44.505-05:002012-09-03T16:24:44.505-05:00Bill G. in response to your query, "can she d...Bill G. in response to your query, "can she do crossword puzzles,,,<br /><br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_MSjcUd5xE" rel="nofollow">(i hope not!)</a>CrossEyedDavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09745913007262424048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-12281204231378328242012-09-03T16:23:28.348-05:002012-09-03T16:23:28.348-05:00CED: I loved those cats with interesting marking ...CED: I loved those cats with interesting marking on their coats.<br /><br />Fermatprime: The cat is <a href="http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2012/08/120831-venus-two-faced-cat-genetics-animals-science/" rel="nofollow">Venus</a>, a real cat.Hahtoolahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03439791473590708547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-62246416273884532892012-09-03T14:06:24.176-05:002012-09-03T14:06:24.176-05:00CED re. one-piece thong: Well, yeah but is she any...CED re. one-piece thong: Well, yeah but is she any good at crossword puzzles?Bill G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04142837879175561312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-31179988241810508452012-09-03T13:59:52.408-05:002012-09-03T13:59:52.408-05:00We just got home from a mission of mercy.

We also had a large barred owl in our woodlot yesterday, and he may have been the culprit. The baby squirrel was pretty feisty, so DW decided that if it was still alive this morning that it'd go to the Texas Wildlife Rehabilitation Center. So we drove 30 miles across the county and finally found the TWRC as well as the note on the door which read "closed today, but our other location will be open." So we continued on to that other location in a different county, and finally turned in the little critter and made a $20 donation to the cause. Total time spent: 4 Hrs. Total miles driven: 125 Now we've got a tracking number, so we can check on the squirrel's progress online. That's just gotta be the world's most expensive baby squirrel.<br /><br />PK@9:31 -- too funny!<br /><br />Hahtoolah, I've seen that Ed Ames clip many times...but it's still funny.

I had to do the perps to see if it was going to be grammatically correct or not. I still don't understand why the editor thinks the grammatically correct "It is I" is not for these puzzles. No one would say "Me is it." Grump.<br />It was great fun to – for once– get the theme answers. Great fun to be able to do the whole puzzle.
