"Light Switches" - May 17, 2019

[tim1217]

Absent last week chasing the ever elusive trout. Back now and on shore. It's a 100%'er, but like a few others, felt a little too easy...or is it just me getting better at these?! A scary thought!

[joequavis]

Finished the puzzle and submitted an answer for the meta. Not 100% for me. But also not sure what else it could be. What the heck, sand is sand, right?

Have a great weekend all

[Joe Ross]

Ashore for the first time!

Guinness, SVP.

[LesY]

Ashore! Fun trip and agree this is pretty impressive work from Mike.

[Beth Tyrpin]

Very clever. I liked it.

[hcbirker]

On shore! Great puzzle! (Heidi)

[Hector]

Creative, nice.

[BethA]

On the beach! 🏖

Thanks for your cruise directing efforts this week, Wendy!

[TMart]

On shore. Great construction by Mike - always amazes me how these constructors figure out how to make these things work out so elegantly.

[ky-mike]

Done. Not quite sure what clicked to get this so quickly. Once you have it, you will be 100% certain.

[Tina]

On shore!

[Tom Shea]

Another "DOH!" moment for me this week. Made it harder than it should have been. Safely on shore.

I'll add my thanks to Wendy this week.

I am baffled by Al Sisti's clever clue in the lounge. I think that's going to be a 'never-gonna-get-it' one for me.

[Toby]

My first answer, though a 5 letter word, was wrong, another 5 letter word often applicable to my answers. Thanks to a nudge, I see it now. Puzzle brilliant, in more ways than one.

[Jim and Anita]

Delighted to be on shore. Thank you Wendy for stepping in. Wishing everyone a good weekend.

[JimmyJam]

On shore!

[Tony S]

On shore without much difficulty. I'm usually amazed at the construction of these metas but this one's extraordinary. Hats off to Mike Shenk aka Marie Kelly!

[oldjudge]

On shore. I’ll echo the sentiment of others that Mike did a masterful job constructing this puzzle.

[Wendy Walker]

Here's the Thursday evening report. The shore is getting increasingly crowded with happy and thirsty Muggles who solved this amazing 100 percenter: Leslie, Darryl, Richard, Mark L., Doug Morack, Inca, Steve B, Meg Duvall, Frankie Heck, Dave Kennison, It's Gioyall, Scooby, GTB, Tim1217, Joe Quavis, Les Y, Beth Tyrpin, Heidi, Hector, Beth A, T-Mart, KYMike, Tina, Tom Shea, Jim & Anita, Jimmy Jam, Tony S., and Old Judge.
A special shout out to Joe Ross for solving his very first meta! WHOO-HOO! Take it from me, Joe: it NEVER gets old!
Where is Al Sisti?!
Toby was unsure at first but is safely ashore. Special Ed, Janet P and Orsys are still wavering on their answers, and Anita is keeping Isaac company at the WSJ-sponsored bar.

Awww.. how sweet, you missed me! Anyway, I'm here -- just got back from (losing at) trivia. I'm on shore and -- somehow -- still thirsty.

" (losing at) trivia" -- Even Ken Jennings eventually lost on Jeopardy. Weird Al wrote a song about it.
