You're working that bit hard. <br /><br />Also agree about DOMINOS. I was very close to calling that one out in the writeup.

Now I know both the first and second definitions. I still don't get ETA, but I'll keep thinking about it. TOPLESS is excellent. I've noticed that these NYT puzzles are often a bit on the naughty side with drug and sex references. FRET caught me totally by surprise. I loved 48A Biblical waste? SMITE, which led to MEWL. I realize that Horace is sometimes against Bible references, and so probably didn't like that one. TOOLCASE was good, SILICONVALLEY, and what about 35D Pie-baking giant DOMINOS? Lots of great stuff here, and finished in under an hour. Not bad.Huygenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539030936919012404noreply@blogger.com
