Another late start. Another done and done.
If I'm around, I am willing to join the Muggle Zoom room at other times to lend a hand to those in need.

Nice to have an easy one -- cuz I still have a backlog of other puzzles to do!

Even though the solve was easy, one has to admire the genius and precision of the contruction. Well done, Mr. Shenk!

finished the grid before hitting send on the email.

at 3:15 CT

one of my fastest finishes ever.

yes, on later review, it proved to be a very nice design - I missed one of the biggest "clues" until I showed this to my wife.

Did you bring the puppy to the beach with you? Maybe the cabana boy can take it for a walk (for a good tip of course).

Ashore and also ready for the easy month to end. Temperature got up to 10 F today. Saw people in shorts and t-shirts. I know it's 35 degrees warmer than the weekend, but I'm not ready for that yet.

On shore
Went out to snowblower and shovel right after Perseverance landed.
Much colder on Mars, but looked like less snow...
Any Muggles interested in being part of manned mission there?
