Falcon, our usual source for the weekly C&R cryptic, has been without power all week in the greater Toronto area. Attached is the May 21 puzzle using my own makeshift formatting. I hope you can access it. Enjoy!

UPDATE: here’s the puzzle in the usual formatting.

Thanks Richard! I found this one hard and not as enjoyable as usual for a Cox and Rathvon. I’m still not sure on the wordplay for 11A
