Fairly easy, I thought, though I was hung up on a couple of spots (e.g., had "aCES" instead of "ICES" for 14A Treats, as a sprain) for a little while. Once I looked at 1D, though (much later), I changed that to its proper letter. I'm not too familiar with TONGA, but got that easily enough. I also wouldn't have known TERPS without the crosses, nor do I know what "A.C.C." stands for in that clue. I liked the fact that both ALES and BEER appear in the same puzzle.Huygenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539030936919012404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-68492693341107829562013-08-28T23:51:54.060-04:002013-08-28T23:51:54.060-04:00That's exactly what I was going to start with:...That's exactly what I was going to start with: Pretty damned easy when you can write in all three fifteens immediately. Really should have been a Tuesday. Agree on ARRGH. I'm actually quite sick of seeing that non-word, and yes, this clue was especially poor. Love the Bambino, of course, but otherwise this one was just fair. englishteacher59https://www.blogger.com/profile/16790678319090827125noreply@blogger.com
