Another day, another error. Sheesh! I...32:37 (FWOE)<br />Another day, another error. Sheesh! I had LEADSoN for "Shows the way," and I'm not sure I've ever heard the word ORRIS before, so ORRoS looked just as good. Ah well..<br /><br />This sure did play hard for me. I started, as you did, very very slowly. I thought immediately of WILEE in the NE, but it was a long time before I realized that they were just going to use the first name and middle initial. Why? And why OISERIVER, and not just OISE? Or, as you say, not "rivière oise?" Or, I suppose, just "l'oise?" And what of FRISCO? Isn't the locale really the FRISCO bay? <br /><br />I don't mean to complain, because I enjoy a challenge, but there were things in here that seemed a tad too forced.
