Especially in the Catskills. :)<br /><br />This theme was amuuing, but difficult for me to wrap my head around. I needed quite a few crosses for each theme answer, and DIZZCONTROL took me a good long time! Still, fun! And I don't remember seeing anything like it before.Horace Fawleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04676932991883111336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-31108595735752146902020-07-20T04:53:34.311-04:002020-07-20T04:53:34.311-04:0029:21

The theme answers are all good. I didn't know what was going on with TRAPPARTISTS, but once I got the crosses for CCTHEDAY, I had it sussed. RUHROH was amusing, as was GGLOUISE. I needed a few crosses to recall RAPANUI, but it came in without too much trouble. Sure, DLISTER wasn't great, but I've heard the term used, so I'll give it a pass. I tried CLamp at 7D, but the crosses fixed that up to the correct CLING. And I wanted PANICButton, STPAul and TENspot where PANICBAR, STPATS and TENNER go, but there weren't really any too-difficult areas for me.Huygenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539030936919012404noreply@blogger.com
