Onshore.

It looks like the Al 'Gebra gang has been COOKING BY THE NUMBERS.
I heard that the local law enforcement played an integral part in preventing derivatives of the drugs from hitting the streets and also found several weapons of math destruction.

I think police laid a trap-azoid for them. Plus I see graph paper. They must be plotting something.

Safely on terra foima (if I didn't pull the trigger too quickly). Might I have a Guinness please?

Hi, Kay and Al! I'm on shore, too! You might not recognize me; got my first post-pandemic haircut today.

Solved.

Took the last two weeks off (didn't solve two weeks ago, solved last week's in 15 minutes but after the deadline).

On shore!

On shore, good one!

Honestly, it was so nice to get a, FOR ME, super easy one after weeks of struggle. I am on the freaking beach. And I'm thirsty. I'll have whatever y'all are having.

Guinness me

Haven't posted in a while (though I have been solving). Happy to be on shore early today!

Ashore!! First time on page 1!!

EDIT: I'm 100% certain on this one...last week I discovered an "answer" that ended up being totally wrong but worked out in the grid (i.e. not a wild guess). The week before I totally whiffed, for the first time since before Christmas. So it feels good to be back.

This puzzle really appealed to how my brain works.

On shore with a fairly easy one. Guinness, please.

Done

Ashore! Tricky one!

Ashore!

Hey, the diet seems to working (down a notch and a half on the belt), so I think I'll pass on the stronger libations for now. (Just an iced tea, please.)

Next week, we'll be most days with the kids, so I'm counting on the G&Ts, rose(accent aigu)s, Bell's you-name-its, Negronis, Boulevardiers, bubblies, Guinnesses, etc., etc., etc. to flow!

Ashore! Fun one.

Wow, that is some impressive construction. On shore.

First page 3 weeks in a row? Cant be.

I would say that last week i was in the California trap.

I am also impressed by this weeks construction, and I think it is harder than average.
