It's been a hot minute (three weeks!) since I solved the Meta. Happy to have it this week. I'm ready to enjoy the weekend and a margarita!

On shore. Didn’t love all the proper names, especially the two people I don’t know crossing the capital of Estonia.
No rabbit holes on the way, but I do see something that’s not meta related but I expect will give people fits

If you want help with a meta, feel free to PM me. The more specific you are about what you have and what you want, the more likely I can help without spoiling.
(And if I help you win a mug, I’ll be especially delighted.)

Ode to a T (Bill)
Jerry Powell said, 5.3!
In other words, some cash for free
Finally some for you and me
So I rushed down to buy a T.
Then this dude keeps raising rates
To the level everyone hates
But I was out buying skates
Not subject to taxes by the states
All year long, with energy
I sought to get my cash for free
Bills of varying maturity
Keep it up, Jay, was my plea
But it wasn’t what it seemed
Now the bills are all redeemed
Zero coupon, had I dreamed?
Apparently vainly had I schemed.

Tried several things and came up "short." Perhaps we need to "change" our approach. Another round, please, Isaac.

Ashore! A tricky one, which makes figuring it out a bit sweeter!

PS: If you want help with a meta, PM what you have so I can help without spoiling too much. I've received lots of help in the beginning and I love to pay it forward!

Yikes, I forgot it was Thursday! Anyway I was in a meeting. But I'm ashore now after a reasonably short dogpaddle.
I don't have anything clever to say, but if I did, it would go here.
