Any way to edit our star difficulty rating? Just discovered by fat fingering that you can rate a puzzle a zero!
Ashore

I, too, have trouble giving the rating I intend to give. Sometimes I'll see that I've rated something 1.5, and I thought I was rating it a 1.

Bob, please add me to the shore list!

Went after this one Friday morning, saw something, but it didn't really make sense, or help me through what looked like a dead end.

A second attempt this morning, still nothing.

Biking back from some tennie ball this afternoon, thought of an attack plan. Sure enough, the third time's... well, you know!

On shore!

Right now seans is keeping Isaac in business

And the mob on the shore include

**sob**

I''m feeling left out. Excluded. Shunned.

I think I'll go clam up somewhere.

My humble apologies. I remember reading and commenting on your getting ready for the power to go out because there was a storm coming into 150 miles north of 4D and commenting that you are in Maine Marge territory, that I forgot to enter you in the spreadsheet. My shame

That's ok -- now I feel bad about making you feel bad!

It was only a very brief squall. The forecast wasn't ominous, but it sure looked for a while like we were going to really get whacked. Weather forecasts have been more and more accurate over the years, but they still mess up some times.

We almost hit 60F today. Mud season in the middle of January. Unheard of!

On shore! Two weeks in a row! Looks like it was easy one given the answers. I liked this one though.

On shore two weeks in a row after several weeks on the boat. Feels good!

wear sunscreen, it's high UV today

Ashore, after enjoying the unseasonable warmth today in New England.

Could it be two weeks ashore in a row? It didn't come at once, but on second run though a very possible and reasonable seeming answer appeared. Enjoying a VSOP cognac as a nightcap.

I'm ashore! Took me a while to figure it out completely, but I am comfortable with my answer. Sipping on a nice Cabernet as a reward.

And 70 predicted for Sunday in Boston

Still on the ship. I see something but haven't figured out what to do with it. Have been out of town with no access to a printer so had to solve the grid online. I hate that. Finally got where I could print so solved it again on paper. Hoped the answer would pop out. It didn't. Will get home late this afternoon. Will take another look then.

On shore! Practiced swimming in my nice heated indoor/outdoor pool here in CO in January. Ha!

On shore!

long odd but good luck to all winning the mug

Every time I see the term "long odds," it reminds me of how our daughter's college dating environment was once described:
"the odds are good, but the goods are odd."

Here's to consecutive record beach invasions!!
Cheers!

that sounds like it should have come from an engineering school in the 60's

Count me on shore with the record setting (I have confidence:) crowd.

That quote is exactly what I heard when I brought my daughter to RPI for her orientation in 2001!
