On shore. Also expect it to be crowded.

Be safe and smart out there. Enjoy any new freedoms in moderation. Cheers!

Never heard of the singer. That was a very fast solve. I’m on the beach. Actually I’m at a bar across the street from the beach because there’s no room already. Happy to see the social distancing. Who drew all the circles?

I haven't even started the grid yet and can tell you I won't be getting - I know Zero about music and just for relative terms I know absolute zero about country music. So I just probably just guess Dolly Parton or Johnny Cash and call it a weekend!

On shore. Have heard of the name, but that is as far as it goes. Same with fastest solve.

Finished the grid, just because that is what you are supposed to do (YES, complete OCD), but still record time for me. Ashore (unless there was some devious trick and knowing those two....)

You don't need to know the singer, I certainly didn't.

I know I should not say this because surely the META Gods will frown on me, but I kind of like the harder puzzles anymore because they make me think about it more. So, let's see what Mr. Gaffney has in store for week 4. I may be eating my words before long.

On shore!

I may not stay long. It’ll be hard to stay socially distant on what’s likely to be a very crowded beach.

Two in a row! It's like a Tigers winning streak.

Chilly today. I'll have hot rum. And a blankie.
For nudges, feel free to PM me. I won't have a clue how to help you, but you might shove me ashore.

On shore! Had to ask my daughter who is a country music fan for confirmation. My knowledge of contemporary music ended sometime in the 80’s.

I'm waiting for the darn printer to work. Sometimes it prints right away--and sometimes it decides to wait for 5 minutes. Or 10. Or........
