"Aftermath" - September 17, 2021

At least it's outside. And I'm vaccinated. Alcohol prevents catching COVID-19, right?

The number one disinfectant prescribed by ravers, partyers, and rabble-rousers around the world.

The streak of early solves (early for me at least) continues! Enjoying the first weeks of autumn on the beach!

[meowmiao71]

On shore! I'm terrible at math, so I did require some help from my smarter half, but it's 100%.

[CAe39]

On shore. Nice meta!

[mrmd]

On shore woot woot!

[Gman]

Ashore. This one brought back stressful memories!

[Guy]

Ashore!

[802puzzler]

On the crowded beach! I'm celebrating with my morning latte

[mntlblok]

Ashore. I'll have both Jameson and Tullamore, see if I can differentiate.

Maybe you should integrate them together

Ha ha.

You are only showing your age if you have one of these and used it in college and after. I am sure that there are many here who have no idea what it is.

Looking back, now see that it has been a recurring theme for me. I actually had one that was *circular*! *It* actually worked just dandy fine. But, nearly bought a DeLorean 40 years ago. Have tried a *lot* of "bleeding edge" stuff that seemed like a cool idea "at the time".

Okay.... this was even easier than last week.

What's going on?

Every seventh month is reserved for recruitment of new addicts. It's in the FAQ.

Enough with the maths! Got it, but only after refreshing my memory of a very long hot summer course. Yuck.

On shore & deserving of the margarita I’m ordering.

A Brit in Charlotte??

[femullen]

Ashore!

My old HP45 sure helped me with this (what? I'm showing my age?)

Got my first one during junior year of high school--great for chemistry class, as you can see all equivalent ratios instantly. I have a medium size collection of them now, ranging in length from about four inches long to eighteen, some with scales I don't even know how to use.

Had trouble downloading the puzzle, but help from my amazing IT savvy wife was finally able to do so, and quickly got to shore while on vacation in Kohler, WI. Go USA in the Ryder Cup here next week!

Invited a friend to play golf next Saturday. He had the audacity to refuse because he's attending the Ryder Cup!

ENJOY! (Sipped Bourbon and branch water is an excellent overnight treatment for overtaxed vocal cords...)

I remember a discussion in the college cafeteria about the value of a “math background” (we meant up to calc in HS!) in other majors. Those of us with a math background said no question it was valuable to whatever we were then studying. Those who didn’t made their predictable protestations to the contrary.

Saw a t shirt today that said “Another day that I didn’t use calculus”. I thought that was a pretty accurate statement for all of us that took that course and never pursued a career that required the application of some of our math learnings.

However, your cab would have driven off the road, if someone hadn't, and you wouldn't be reading this.

Awaiting the coffee mug souvenirs you're bringing us from abroad!

Ashore!
Post Yom Kippur solve.
My just-after-high-school daughter helped me out.
But we both needed google - all the math we studied was in Hebrew.

On shore and looking forward to a Glenmorangie tonight. Nervously awaiting the 5 star Friday that is most certainly lurking around the corner....

[JoeFlanders]

I continue to be in awe of Mike Shenk/WSJ/and the crossword contest puzzle constructions. Solved this faster than usual; was proud of myself but see it is only rated a "1." Hah...figures.

[mlvilv]

done. had to sleep on it but got it this morning.

[PQ63]

Ashore fairly quickly. Good thing because I did major in Applied Mathematics. Bloody Mary for me.
