I could never have thought of this mechanism, and if I did, I certainly could never have constructed this.

I'm running out of ways to say "WOW!"

Thanks Matt!

I am sitting at Churchill Downs throwing good money at bad horses. Looking forward to tackling this puzzle later tonight.

This rarely happens to me but I saw what was happening before I even finished the puzzle. Now for gin & tonic. I have been substituting St. Germaine elderberry liqueur for some of the gin...highly recommended and way more nutritious.

Wow, page 2 at 5:10pm! I really liked this one. Dare I describe this as a logical construction/solution?

Jane has it.
I'm still cogitating.
I prefer my kale with a silent K.

On shore. It's 77 degrees and warm enough for a beer or two.
