"A Matter of Course" April 5, 2024

[John77]

On shore, but wondering if I'll finish the grid.

A horse is a horse, of course of course, and no one can talk to a horse of course, that is of course, unless the horse, Is the famous Mister Ed!

Well that was a rabbit hole
But I did redeem myself and got to happy hour just a few minutes late!

Ashore

[PapZ]

After a few weeks at sea, I am happy to be ashore! A bottle of Lone Star Beer, please.

[Notbitter]

On shore.

[SReh26]

Hey, it must be a mistake
Today as I was eating my steak
The table did seem to shake
But no it was the 2024 earthquake

I was home, not at the lake
A nice dessert was trying to make
Put some batter out on to bake
But no it was the 2024 earthquake

Just four seconds it did take
At first I thought it was fake
I thought construction the sound did make
But no, it was the 2024 earthquake

Ashore. Grid took a lot longer than the meta.

But I'm not going to whine. I'm going to wine!

[John77]

Ashore!! And just missed page one. Got called away to see a patient mid grid. The nerve!!

Quick and fun, had it before finishing the grid.

Stay well all

At times like that you need to remember Dr Beeper (Caddyshack) -- "Just snake a tube down her nose and I'll be there in ..four or five hours."

Not sure of the title, but I got the meta. No earthquake in Delaware!

Ashore

[HunterX]

We are getting ready for total eclipse Monday. We are in the direct path and expect to see it around 3:30 pm Eastern.

We'll be by about 3:00pm then. Have some wine ready. No... Smithwicks Red Ale!

Okay, I kid. We'll be driving with millions of others, headed towards Syracuse then someplace on the lake. Maybe the first park we see with park-ing. Having a house in the Poconos will cut 2 hours off our drive!

[Mirage]

Carried to shore by my husband. I found the grid harder than the meta.

[HunterX]

A horse is a horse, of course of course, and no one can talk to a horse of course, that is of course, unless the horse, Is the famous Mister Ed!

Good advice when you're struggling with a meta:

Go right to the source,
And ask the horse,
He'll give you the answer that you'll endorse,
He's always on a steady course,
Talk to Mr. Ed.

And in the case of this week: Don't look a gift-meta in the mouth.

[Crest]

Safely ashore!

[Jarrod]

On Shore. Almost threw in the towel.

[Craven_Mug_Craver]

Grid was tough!!

Ashore. Grid took a lot longer than the meta.

But I'm not going to whine. I'm going to wine!

[Flamel616]

For the first time this year, I'm ashore! As others said, the grid was much worse than the meta.

[JeffS]

Ashore! Gin & Tonic for me.

[seahawks_seashanty]

In a way, the journey was the destination (aka the grid took me too long to complete). But I am ashore!

[Alvibu67]

On shore!
