Got a late start due to a household project today, but on shore with a Bulleitt Bourbon in hand. Neat puzzle!

I didn't find this as easy as some people did, but I did make it to shore. When you figure it out, it is a 100-percenter for sure. Very clever idea from Patrick.

Ashore.

Lots of little things to love in the clue writing/editing this week. And not even a drop of glue in the fill. Very enjoyable!

Finally figured this one out. It was tough for me, since I've never played it.

Periodically I do some high speed photography. This is a drop of food coloring hitting the surface of a glass of milk. The red ball at the top is most of the drop of food coloring bouncing off the surface of the milk. It loses some of its volume in the process which is the column below it. The flash time was about 50 microseconds.

I have some of a pellet from a pellet gun hitting a balloon or an egg. I would like to stop a bullet but I would have to get a submicrosecond flash which goes for about $1000.
