A little bit of a struggle for a Tuesday, so...6:08. A little bit of a struggle for a Tuesday, somehow. I see that ODIN is the god of war, while Thor is the god of thunder, but war is not what I usually associate with Odin. I get that NTEST is a nuclear test, but I don't like it.

An okay Tuesday overall.Colum Amoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15026647589873845732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-206186439640096522014-01-07T15:55:25.487-05:002014-01-07T15:55:25.487-05:0010 mins.

I also liked 66A Boxer's bane (FLEAS) and 24A Facilities with padded walls (INSANEASYLUMS) mostly because we don't use that term in polite society any longer. I thought it strange that this was easier than yesterday's puzzle. And I'd originally put in yAHOO for 60A Joyful cry (WAHOO) until I realized that ENDyISE just wouldn't work.Huygenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539030936919012404noreply@blogger.com
