Turnaround Time

#1

Post by Bird Lives »

This will be brief since I have no Internet in this Jersey shore rental and am doing everything on my phone. I need either a bigger keyboard or smaller thumbs.

The answer is something you might see in a car, a woman's closet, a football game, or a baseball game.

PM me your answer, but don't expect a reply till the Comcast guy comes to fix the router.

No internet here for 30 hours at the end of last week - but who is counting. From around 3:30 on Thursday until almost 10 pm on Friday. Doesn't Kinetic know these are important times of the week.

Off the couch! Figuratively; you don't realize how much a part of life the living room couch is until it's away for a facelift.
Good luck, fellow Muggles!

I love the clue and answer to 2D. A throwback.

And 37D

Slight typo in 65A - should be "will" and not "with"

now on to the meta

Off the sofa after trying to make something else work for too long. Round hole, you know. Nice puzzle!

The manatee is an interim avatar. In September I’ll be getting a new puppy, and I can’t replace Annie, our black lab who passed away some years ago, with a new puppy. So, it’s like a rebound manatee.
