Definitely a longer solve than a norm...38:46 (FWOE)<br />Definitely a longer solve than a normal Sunday for me. I made the same error as Colum, not being terribly familiar with the state of JALISCOMEXICO. I was able to write in GLUTEN__ and just leave the last two blank until I came up with the crosses. I tried POSTdoC at first where POSTBAC goes, but the crosses BEEB and LARVA were gimmes, so that was corrected quickly. I also tried folic where AMINO goes, but, again, crosses saved me. I never heard of an ENJAMBMENT, but I'll accept it. I loved EYEDUP (66A Looked at lasciviously), even though this is something that I would tend not to do.Huygenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539030936919012404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-33006389009177568622019-09-01T14:41:16.662-04:002019-09-01T14:41:16.662-04:00WOO!

Perhaps I underestimated the difficulty of coming up with these sets of answers and fitting them into a grid, because I felt on finishing that perhaps there should have been more than four. But then, as I have so often commented, I'm a reviewer, not a creator. Otherwise, I made an error at the crossing of JALISCOMEXICO and OPENSLOT. I put a P in there, because OPENSpOT made sense, and the other was only mildly familiar to me.Colum Amoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15026647589873845732noreply@blogger.com
