In any event, on the shore!

On the beach. Only took a few minutes to solve the meta, but clever nonetheless.

Ashore...temperature dropped here in Florida to a frigid 52, so we're huddled under the blankets waiting for the Old Fashioned to kick in.

What a coincidence, we're going to hit 52 degrees this week too. 13 today, 9 tomorrow, 15 on Friday, 15 on Saturday...

A little struggle for me but finally got it. When I am initially stuck, it helps my motivation to see five pages already and realize I am making it too complicated!

On the beach -- I think.

I am ashore! I hope!

I jumped right in and saw some likely steps, but WAs then absoRBed with a wee bunny or two. Had a pre-tiki bar yuengLING with dinner. Took another look, the VItal step jumped out, REOrganized my thinking, and set out for shore.

I do have a quibble with one thing, which I will try and remember for the recap.

The Beach is a state of mind (I'm saying to myself in my mind).

Those don't seem like real numbers. I don't think standard thermometers go that low...

On shore! I haven't had a Thursday solve in a while - probably because I often don't even look at the puzzle until Friday. Wow, that warm sand between my toes feels great!

On terra firma. The missus will be glad to hear that. I suspect. I 'll take page 5 any day.
