Bob, I live near Presque Isle, Maine. That makes it 250 miles/ 4.5 hours to Sugarloaf Mtn. Not gonna happen.

Does anyone think that we are scrambling for an answer too quickly and it will wind up being a joke on us all (or in muggle speak a HUGE pageant)?

On shore, but with that Kas-1 sort of letdown. As I finished Step 1 and was ready to tackle Steps 2 and 3 (or more), I found that Step 1 is it (apparently). Still I like the grid.

There was a young lady named Inca
Who solved the meta in a blink- uh
But it would be a gamble
Because she had to unscramble
So maybe she should wait and re-think it.
Lots of poetic license in use there....starting with the word young (;)) and on through the inexact rhyming. But I just did it on the fly like the way I solved the meta this week. Good enough.

Naw, I ain't buying it. I got this answer in Sisti time so I KNOW it cannot be right. It also has a "gotcha" feel to it because I have to make an assumption I do not usually have to. I'm holding my answer and looking at this in as many different ways as I can because I think we are all cruising for a bruising.
NUDGES!I am always willing to give nudges where needed; metas should be about fun, not frustration. Send me what you have done so far because often you are closer than you think!

Oh, by the way, trying out the Excel crossword grid. Mine was not as straight forward because I have Excel 10 and there s no "make picture transparent". It can be done using the color transparency though. Still, moving around with the keys will take some getting used to because I keep selecting the darn grid and then moving it when I try to move the cursor. I may just go back to my PDF method since I have the full Acrobat. I will say it did make highlighting easy.

Fun puzzle. Meta was seemingly easy and less than elegant (maybe half-elegant) which gives me pause. I’m not expecting a pageant sucker-punch, but...
Actually, I think I’ll enjoy it if there is one. Coffee mug be damned.

Thursday night solve for the first time in a long while.
If I am wrong, I predict I will have a whole lot of company.

Oops. Was quickly scrolling up on my phone and I think I accidentally rated the puzzle. Looked like I gave it a 3.5! I don't know if there's any way to undo a rating....
