He'd go out surfing and leave the roll on his dashboard. When he'd come back in, he claimed it was heated up perfectly for him. Now that's livin'. Of course, he liked to "hang loose," not SITTIGHT. Decent theme and pretty well done. I needed all of the crosses for SASSON, which I never wore.Huygenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539030936919012404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-43326467419477843192020-09-15T01:15:20.705-04:002020-09-15T01:15:20.705-04:00Not unusually for a Monday, my aha moment came not...Not unusually for a Monday, my aha moment came not during the solve, but afterwards as I looked at the themers, looked at the revealer, looked at the themers, started to see some paired T's, looked at the revealer, thought to look for "it", and then it clicked to connect the paired T's with the paired I's in the "both ways" formation.<br /><br />I was really hoping that "sources of much spam" would be tinS. But that's probably just because I have Hawaii on the brain. I've been watching maps of west coast fire smoke going at least halfway to Hawaii and mentioned this to someone I know who lives in Hawaii who said "well yes we can see some haze at sunset". And of course where there is Hawaii there is spam (no, not the computer kind, the other kind). Oh well, I didn't really think it would "tins", I just hoped it would be.<br />Jim Kingdonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01857308320156877253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-41778601952141056402020-09-14T18:02:17.511-04:002020-09-14T18:02:17.511-04:003:14

Didn't know SASSON Jeans -- thanks for the image -- but that didn't matter. And loved the shout-out to my hometown baseball team!Kelly Clarknoreply@blogger.com
