Submitted (though website didn't accept it, so I emailed). 90% on this one.

ETA: Something else has been pointed out to me that now makes it maybe a 99.44 percenter.

On the beach. Drinks will be a bit late. The cabana boy is consumed with finding the right picture to match his Wordle results.

Pretty sure of the answer, so I'm pretty sure I'm ashore.

After a slight detour down a rabbit hole, I'm on the shore. Since I'm away from a printer, doing these without paper is an interesting challenge.

On Naboo. Just in time for happy hour, and the droid at the bar is getting creative with black sea salt! :roll:

Maybe I'm on the beach.... maybe I'm not and .... oh, wait... on the beach.

Page 1. First time ever....

I'll have... my usual.
Funny story. I was all set to enter Par for the course for the CrossHare midi contest for April but I mistakenly thought midi meant 7x 7 and not 11 x 11. Oops. Well.... Here's a complex but **small** meta on the subject of golf.
