Cute theme today playing with DOUBLENEGATIVES, where two "no"s make a "yes." The two most interesting examples are:
TIED[NO][NO]HIRTS - Some colorful apparel
and
HAWKE[NO][NO]TATE - Des Moines's domain
I got some of the "no" rebuses on their own, and I think it was with R[NO][NO]EED (Certain grain source) that I finally got it. The top left was where I finished today, with the biological trivia SETAE (Small, clingy bristles on a gecko's foot) crossing the still-unclear-to-me ESP (Unnatural sight, in brief). When I think of ESP I think of extra-sensory perception, which isn't really a "sight." What am I missing, Kelly? :)
Of the C/APs I did understand, I liked BFF (Close one, for short), "Call for delivery?" (PUSH), "Establishment where things are cut and dried?" (HAIRSALON), and the "charger" pairing of ELTORO (Charger in una corrida) and DAS (Chargers in courts, for short).
A fun Thursdsay.

p.s. It's fun that IMPALA shows up in the puzzle and in Strands today.
AHA! I came here not knowing how to suss the theme...thank you!
ReplyDeleteWell, one synonym for "perception" is "sight." (And no thank you!) :-)
