Any way to edit our star difficulty rating? Just discovered by fat fingering that you can rate a puzzle a zero!
Ashore
I, too, have trouble giving the rating I intend to give. Sometimes I'll see that I've rated something 1.5, and I thought I was rating it a 1.

Good Saturday morning. Another week to enhance my typing skills as we have one muggle keeping Isaac company for now and 116 on the shore. Another 2500 entry week with high percentage of success.
Right now seans is keeping Isaac in business
And the mob on the shore include

I''m feeling left out. Excluded. Shunned.
I think I'll go clam up somewhere.
My humble apologies. I remember reading and commenting on your getting ready for the power to go out because there was a storm coming into 150 miles north of 4D and commenting that you are in Maine Marge territory, that I forgot to enter you in the spreadsheet. My shame
That's ok -- now I feel bad about making you feel bad!
It was only a very brief squall. The forecast wasn't ominous, but it sure looked for a while like we were going to really get whacked. Weather forecasts have been more and more accurate over the years, but they still mess up some times.
We almost hit 60F today. Mud season in the middle of January. Unheard of!
Could it be two weeks ashore in a row? It didn't come at once, but on second run though a very possible and reasonable seeming answer appeared. Enjoying a VSOP cognac as a nightcap.
Still on the ship. I see something but haven't figured out what to do with it. Have been out of town with no access to a printer so had to solve the grid online. I hate that. Finally got where I could print so solved it again on paper. Hoped the answer would pop out. It didn't. Will get home late this afternoon. Will take another look then.
Good Sunday morning muggles. The shuttle to shore has been going continuously since yesterday and we have 132 on the shore and two keeping Isaac company for now.

Every time I see the term "long odds," it reminds me of how our daughter's college dating environment was once described:
"the odds are good, but the goods are odd."
Here's to consecutive record beach invasions!!
Cheers!

that sounds like it should have come from an engineering school in the 60's

That quote is exactly what I heard when I brought my daughter to RPI for her orientation in 2001!
