I suppose, though, if one doesn't grok the theme quickly, the attempted solve could cause quite a bit of angst. I, luckily, was ready for such a theme as we'd seen similar offerings in the past. This was a little different, however, in a good way. My least favorite of the theme answers was CARBONDATED, because if something can be CARBONDATED, it isn't very old, geologically speaking. I refuse to look things up on Google, but I seem to remember that things can't be much older than 100,000 years or so (it could be tens of thousands) in order to be accurately dated using that method. So I didn't think that the clue 57A Cold? quite cut the mustard. The others were great, though, and I have to agree with Frannie on OXYGENSUPPLY as perhaps the best of the bunch. Yes, I remember the Ken-L Ration commercials. I'd love to do away with answers like CYST, but I suppose they're necessary on occasion. Funny that LETS and NOT abut.Huygenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539030936919012404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-72692817583280921582020-12-10T23:03:35.133-05:002020-12-10T23:03:35.133-05:00sometimes I feel so cold that it is almost like th...sometimes I feel so cold that it is almost like the cold is originating inside me instead of from the outside and I will never get warm.
