"Urban Shift" - October 1, 2021

[HunterX]

I’m ashore, which sounds worse if you mistype without the ‘s’. I’m looking forward to some fancy cocktails.

Ha! I actually did that too. But corrected before hitting Submit. As my teachers were fond of saying, "always check your work."

Edit: I had to edit because I didn't check my work.

Better count me on the ship for now. Grid done, but nothing jumping out at me...

Finally back to a familiar shore after a long virtual tour of many of the world’s fine cities. That was not an easy trip, and I’m glad my traveling companion was there to help me down the gangplank upon landing.
Ever the gardener, I was able to get lots of fall cleanup done in the stern garden while on the ship this week. And look what’s blooming back there right now- funny, I have something very similar in my own garden

A small combo coming into peak performance- Red dahlia and 3 Bergenias. Apple orchard in background. All bergenias have beautiful autumn coloring, but this variety, Winter Glow, is going to be spectacular.

On shore on Saturday morning in Tokyo - now I can walk over the Rainbow Bridge and get to a physical shore if it’s been unearthed post olympics

Not seeing it yet. In Annapolis this weekend with my sister for the UCF Navy football game. Will come back again to see what I can see.

I always am envious of your garden. Here in California we have to be “water wise” so I plant drought tolerant plants. Here are my Penta and Lantana.

Hi folks. I’m brand new on the boat and enjoying the view from the shore.

[auee89]

Made it ashore with a some help from the team. I can certainly see how this can be easy and tricky.

[MamaE]

Just no clue yet….even roped hubby in for assistance, but nada. Spinning on my barstool.

ETA: perhaps Isaac’s cocktails combined with the spinning barstool shook something loose in my brain….Firmly on the beach after a sprint to shore!!

On shore with a dry Riesling

[Annabelle]

On shore! Fun mechanism. Thanks for the extra grid hint, Mike!

[Joepickett]

Ok I'm dense and I've spent way too much time again. Someone please give me a nudge.

[CPJohnson]

Still at my usual spot with Isaac.

[mntlblok]

We both had the same guess, but presumed it to be too few steps. Miss Kay seems to have confirmed, however, so we're "ashore", as they say. Afraid I start drinkin even before finshing these, so I'll merely have a couple more Miller Lites. Medicinal, you see. . .

Oh, and it turns out that my favorite poster on quora.com, Viktor Toth, has a calculator hobby. http://www.rskey.org/CMS/

Oops. Wrong puzzle. Still firmly planted at the bar, helping with the demurrage.

Sent one.

[MarkWoychick]

Ashore, finally. Stumped for a while but have it now, 100%

[Gman]

Crazy to see the new Chapel Dome in the background gleaming in metallic bronze.

[rexthree]

still on the ship with isaac. not seeing it yet.

[jh773]

On shore. Bloody Marys for the weekend.

[ship4u]

Still a fledgling who can't find his wings......
A little nudge, please.
