My son lives in Tampa too, and was pretty sanguine about the whole thing. I guess you Floridians take these in stride. Here in Atlanta, the panic is reaching snowpocalypse level.

On the beach! Might be time for something different. Barkeep, what do you recommend?
Check out "The MOAT Mini Pack of Marching Bands" here. US$5 gets you 7 Marching Bands which, hard enough on their own, now contain metas too. And once again there's a mega-meta! :D

On shore. Very Shenkian.

3 more chances to change my profile pic…
If you like Rows Gardens check out my mini ones here: viewforum.php?f=41. Nudges are free on the off chance I’ve solved the meta.

Did it backwards, but got there. In honor of 25A, I'll have a Fuzzy Navel.

Very efficient, tight meta. Took about 20 minutes.

Stay safe Florida muggles.

very late start (grumble work grumble), but first thing I tried worked, so on shore. Of course, at first I only tried it a little, and had to come back to it after about 5 minutes of staring. :lol:
