If you are trying to make most of us feel old, you are succeeding.

This is the month to fill in your missing knowledge

Last week a friend commented that he'd be staying home that evening to watch the baseball game. I was confused - thought I'd heard somewhere that baseball season was over. Apparently there is still something going on though.

Where have you been. I have not seen you in a few weeks. Hope everything is OK

MaineMarge wrote: ↑Thu Oct 03, 2019 9:29 pm Finished the grid and meta, but no way I’m leaving the garden this early. It needs some TLC, (and Isaac too) so I’m staying aboard for the weekend. So Bob, count me as 12d in the stern garden for the time being. It’s a lot warmer there than in my own Maine garden now- first snowflakes coming tomorrow. Hope it’s not going to be an 18d situation.

Isaac agreed to help you with the garden as he has a small customer base this week.

on shore, and now for a matt gaffney week 1

With less than 100% certainty this week, I’m ashore. A post-submission Stella or two may edge me closer to certainty.

Marion and I are on the sand again.......seemed rather straightforward - hope there's not a "pageanting" going on. If so, we'll be PO'd!

Luck to all......

Got a late start on this one, but I’m safely ashore and staking out a spot, ‘cause it’s gonna get crowded! ...

Ashore (99% confident)! First submittal on a Thursday night (were initially reluctant to post as the print edition doesn't show up until morning!).

Folks have commented that these have seemed 'easy'..... we're perfectly happy to be able to solve some, so don't ratchet up the puzzles too fast!

Rita and George

Done and done

On the beach!

Pretty sure I’m ashore

On shore. And another Thursday first-timer.

Ashore!

Pretty sure I couldn’t have solved this when I was 2.

On the beach in under ten minutes from start to finish. Either these are getting easier, or I'm getting smarter - and I am NOT getting smarter!

Well that was not bad at all - done and ashore with abut a 98% confidence. I can make 75% of the information fit nicely into a packet but cannot seem to cram the last bit in there. I am sure I am overthinking it because the coincidences would be far too great for what I came up with not to be correct.

Gosh, now I have to do some actual work this week-end, DRAT!

Well, I have an answer, and it's a 4-letter noun, but I don't like it. I'll be with Isaac until I look around some more.

Quick swim to shore this week.

Good morning muggles
A very early report as we will be out all day
First we welcome our two newest muggles - Alexis'mom and StElmoFlash.

The beach is very crowded and is getting more crowded by the minute. We already have 66 on the shore and 4 on the ship. Those on the ship have an answer but want to have their morning coffee with Isaac before the fight for beach space.

Good luck to everyone winning the mug
