If Will Johnston's site (fleetingimage) is down, you can always use
http://herbach.dnsalias.com/wsj/wsj200904.puz

Just use yymmdd as appropriate. There's no nifty calendar interface, but these are the files his calendar links.

The last time I said that, I had submitted "Bowl Games" after only 10 minutes. A lesson in humility many of us felt (Dec 2017).

With a long weekend to look forward to, would anyone either on boat or land like to recommend a sub-$20ish bottle of wine they've recently enjoyed?
Stay safe everyone!
If you're not in the midwest US ignore, but at Meijer stores they sell stuff from a great northern Michigan winery called Leelenau Cellars. Winter White is my favorite. They usually go for $8 or so....

Onshore - IDK how pleased our client would be knowing I was doing this during a Zoom meeting but this one was easy enough it took more of my attention to post this than it did to finish the meta. Fastest ever for me but that is not saying much with this one.

www.fleetingimage.com: Offline Site

You have requested a site that is currently offline. This generally happens when a site is temporarily disabled for some reason, but has not been permanently removed.
That doesn’t look good to me.
The page with all the links to wsj crosswords opens just fine on my pc, but not on my iPad. A mystery.
Doesn't open on my Mac.
