Ashore. Somewhat suspicious, but ashore.

I'm with @SingleMalt ^^^. On shore but less than convinced of the connection to the title.
Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.

Hmmmm. Thank you kindly, Mike. Maybe I’ll read
A book this weekend. I’ll have an IPA with a Michelob Ultra chaser.

After completing a rather tough grid, I'm on a beach almost instantly. Hopefully it's the right one..

Like many others, this NC Tar Heel is ashore -but with some trepidation. Is there more to it? I'm not 100% sure---more like 90%. So, I'll drink 90% of a beer and wait till Monday for the big reveal.

Ashore - can not believe I missed last week's meta - Taco Bell is one of the brands under my employer's umbrella.

Ashore! This was one of those rare weeks when the first thing I thought of worked!

Ashore. Late start but just kept looking for things that just weren't there! One minor quibble with the mechanism but whatever.

I had the same impression. I set it aside a few times, thinking inspiration would strike when I picked it up again. Eventually I concluded that my answer was correct and my lack of confidence was the result of residual trauma from last week's stumper.
I prefer my kale with a silent K.

In the “so cheesy I might be missing a step” camp.
If you like Rows Gardens check out my mini ones here: viewforum.php?f=41. Nudges are free on the off chance I’ve solved the meta.

Ashore and it seems straightforward to me.

Good to be back from multiple weeks at sea.

Good grief! Last week nothing, this week I am not even sure why 56A is 56A. I just hate it when the cheesy ones escape me completely.
NUDGES!I am always willing to give nudges IF ASKED; metas should be about fun, not frustration. PM me what you have done so far, because often you are closer than you think, and I will try to help you move along.

Ashore --
In the lovely resort town of Palanga on the Baltic Sea.
Would you believe it -- Last night we ate in a multi-level, indoor-outdoor restaurant (Floros Simfonija) where (domestic, pet) bunnies were residing on the roofs of some of the lower parts of the establishment. Well-provided for with water, veggies, and little shelters, but mainly happy nibbling the grass that was planted there, chasing each other, and digging into those proverbial hide-y holes.

(Safety mesh fencing all around the edges of the roofs! :) )

10:15 PM -- Now off to see the sunset from the pier.

I am on the shore!

My last couple of weeks have been filled with donating so much stuff as I prepare to move to a house half the size. My kids are in their 20's and 30's, so why did I still have all those legos? And much much more!

So definitely much "takeout" from my big house to charity.

Ashore! Finally had a chance to do the grid. And just like that, I'm ashore! I'll still stop by the Zoom call - best place for a Friday afternoon with friends!
