Ashore or as sure as I can be. I have two words for Matt: Yma Sumac.

Per usual, Wendy beat me to the punch. Now, no one will ever see my no-doubt-priceless Margaret Cho and the Terrible, Horrible, Very Bad Day of the Triffids anthology entry.

No matter. I'm ashore before Sunday, so there's that.

On Shore (unsure). Guess I have some new sci-fi reading for August.

Ashore, I think.
I'll consider it some more, but what else could it be?

Whipped through the grid in record time, found step 1 rapidly, spent ~35-40 minutes waffling over red herring A or red herring B (to be explained on Monday), ended up going with option C, and now I'm ashore with certainty.

I'm on shore. Very early for me; I guess I'll just have Topo Chico until it gets to be happy hour.

Can I come to your shore? I love that sandy path winding down to the water.
