The title to this week's contest is BUY LOW By Matt Gaffney

The answer to this week’s contest crossword is a 12-letter money-related word.

REMINDER FOR NEXT WEEK'S CONTEST CROSSWORD: Monday, September 4th, is a non-publishing holiday for the WSJ. The solution will be posted with Tuesday's crossword puzzle, Monday, 4 PM ET. However the submission time is still midnight on Sunday September 3. And discussion of the solution and rabbit holes will be conducted as usual on Labor Day.

And if you missed it, CONGRATULATIONS to our own @Cindy N for winning the mug last week.

Ashore!!!!

Whew. Happy to be back on page one. I was really getting a complex after last few weeks! Now I have all weekend to enjoy the littles who are coming to visit (since I don’t have a prayer of getting MGWCC week 4 LOL)

Stay well all

Sweet! (Are we still saying that?) Got it.

By the way, just wanted to use this opportunity to point out the genius of yesterday's WSJ puzzle, Elevated Tensions, by Mike Shenk. Thought it was really well constructed. Highly recommend.

On shore. Well, it seems I made page one after all. That certainly calls for a drink. One for each page is a goal for me. Sort of.
