After a couple of solvers brought my attention to an oversight, this puzzle now has two correct answers. Super sorry for any confusion and frustration caused by that!

Happy solving! And thanks for all the laughs and helpful feedback.

Solved - Grid was tougher than the meta - (but that is going to be true pretty much for any puzzle I solve now).

I actually like these puzzles better than WSJCC on average - The grids are fresher more akin to the Daily Beast daily puzzle. LAT. WSJ, NYT grids tend to be stale with lots of clue/answers just recycled.

Just did the puzzle and (pretty sure) the meta.
Will/AnswerPhinder, I'll be contacting Pandora's Blocks tomorrow to get on the list officially --- I wanna ride the dino train too.
Had been meaning to do so for a while, but.......
This puzzle's title caught my eye though :) and I had to explore.
And it may be the only one I come close to solving this week!

Dino me, I think... reading these comments, I'm not sure if I got the intended answer or the unintended one! Anyway, it was fun!

It was a suggestion from oldjudge. Will, the constructor, likes to anagram. DINO ME is an anagram of I’M DONE.
