Another day, another theme. Today it's three things that, if personified, could say WEGOWAYBACK: a TIMEMACHINE; a DENTISTSCHAIR, and your CREDITHISTORY. Amusing.
Two things in this puzzle annoyed me, and sometimes that's all it takes. The first was "Must-haves during heat waves, for short" (ACS). Air conditioning is a problem, not a solution. And the second was "Pre-A.D., in dating" (BCE). The systems are A.D./B.C. or C.E./B.C.E. I get that you can't use "C.E." in a clue for "B.C.E.," but I still think it's inelegant.
On the other hand, I did like the inclusion of DISC golf. And the clue "406, for the entire state of Montana" got me wondering how many states still had just one AREACODE. Any guesses? It's hard to say, because Google gives me different answers, but whatever the number is, it includes four of the six New England states. Connecticut has four, and Massachusetts, shockingly, has nine!
