Tough Saturday! That upper right corner took me forever! On the bright side, it’s nice to now know about the existence of the TENREC (Hedgehog-like mammal of Madagascar). There are no CROCKER grocery stores near me, and I was not turned on to TVSET (Wall hanging, maybe). Finally VENEER came to me somehow, and that broke it open.
In other areas, GALUMPHED (Moved clumsily) was fun. And “Go out in
the winter?” (HIBERNATE) was clever. “Fly-by-night” (REDEYE) was cute.
It
was interesting to learn that HYACINTHS were “Flowers in the same
family as asparagus and agave.” And come to think of it, I have never
really thought about what the SPLEEN did. When I think of SPLEEN, I
think of Charles Baudelaire. “Quand le ciel bas et lourd…” and all that.
And speaking of a low, heavy sky, that's what it looks like here in Portland. Hopefully, it's pouring rain in Washington. Happy protesting, all.
