Other than a few small problems like that (UPS, FGS, SST and GTO), this is a solid puzzle and excellent theme that will SATE one's Monday appetite.Huygenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539030936919012404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-43427764541818639382017-03-06T19:19:57.694-05:002017-03-06T19:19:57.694-05:004:07 (FWOE)

I already had BA_, failed to notice the Floridian location, and confidently slapped an R in there. Apparently a GUrL is not actually a bird at all. Who knew?<br /><br />Anyway, I love this puzzle too. Great theme, fun answers, some nice extra 7-letter answers in each corner. Wins all around.Colum Amoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15026647589873845732noreply@blogger.com
