I don't think so, but you can rate it 1/2 star.
Yeah, we voted 1/2 star :)

I've been on a bit of a hiatus, so it was nice to have a quick trip to the beach this week. Count me ashore, Cap'n.

I think Isaac should send a large tank of ethanol ashore in the next launch. Some of us are in danger of being able to stagger again to our feet.

Have not found any additional layers of sneakiness or subterfuge, so I'm going to submit the obvious answer and get on with my weekend. It's beautiful here in the Blue Ridge foothills! This is from my back yard last evening.

Ashore. This one will be a record-breaker.

I'll have a Lillet Blanc, very cold.

Cheers, all!

Ashore, agree with the difficulty. That was the fastest meta I’ve ever done. (And right after a very easy MGWCC)

Agree this one was quick and not too complex, but was IMO probably nice for anyone who may just be starting out solving metas. I recall struggling a bit on a recent MGWCC week one puzzle, and a few others in the last couple months, so I was happy to have two easy solves this weekend. Now I can spend tomorrow learning how to pickleball!

how about Bacardi 151. Add a little Coke and your problems will be solved in no time

Those clouds look like a Fragonard painting.

Ashore, miraculously two weeks in a row. Thanks for the easy ones to alleviate some of the frustration!

I did too. Then again I seldom actually rate difficulties.

....

I wouldn't say it deserves zero stars. I'd reserve those for "The answer to this meta is 'Have a Nice Day'". (We haven't seen a meta like that much lately).

Ashore. I get the print edition of the Journal and typically start on Friday night. (Yep...very exciting!) Fun one for me.

On shore, but like others I'm a bit suspicious about the apparent ease.

On another note, to Brian, our illustrious admin: The star ratings on older puzzles seem to be missing (on my device, anyway). In both the forum view, and when viewing individual puzzles, the star rating appears only for this week's puzzle and last week's, but not for any puzzle older than two weeks.

It might just be me and you might have answered this before (apologies if so).

Thanks
