Late start, grid was difficult for me, meta was not.

Nice to be on the beach.

Sorry about that, Chief

Late start. Grid not done, but meta submitted
If I'm around, I am willing to join the Muggle Zoom room at other times to lend a hand to those in need.

Firmly occupying a seat on deck with Isaac. Finished the grid, but got nuthin' for the meta. You "submitted, now to finish the grid" folks amaze me... :shock:

UPDATE: On shore with a light nudge from the ever-helpful @BarbaraK. Still amazed...

This is (for me, anyway) the 🥴 meta I have encountered of the twenty or so of these I have done. J just registered to ask whether it is experience or was this one particularly 🥴 ?

Got a very late start, but quickly made it ashore. Make mine a Dr Pepper.

Only got as far as the grid before heading out to a post (3-night) town meeting recovery get-together, Beers and Bites, at local Start Line Brewery. Will now see if the "Not Sorry Peanut Butter Chocolate Stout" adds or subtracts to meta-solving capability.

On shore late… I had a presentation for my last grad class tonight.
“What further inferences may we draw?”

“Do none suggest themselves? You know my methods. Apply them!”
