Extra credit confirmed.

Here is a 33A (and goslings) that I saw a few years back at Kilauea Lighthouse.

Well that was both brutal and fun. Lots of time with Mr. G (I am apparently not very 'hip', guess I'll need a hip replacement?) but got to the end and even got the Extra Credit (I assume). So now to Ben's Puzzle. Don't have to worry about MEOW this week cause its ME.

I didn't specifically get the extra credit (yet). Unless I submitted the extra credit answer without even knowing?

Off the couch. Have to take another look at the extra credit as my first answer was not what Peter had in mind.

Nudge #3

For the extra-credit, follow the formula. I am looking for two words in the grid that make an "in-the-language" phrase. 49-Across has a relevant connection!
