Like those who've alread...Hello Falcon and all,<br />Like those who've already commented, I found this puzzle required some (enjoyable) brain-racking. In fact, for me it was a real challenge. It seemed as though there were more double definition clues (if that's the right term: like 9a, I mean) than usual, which I'm not very good at. Like Anon 8:50, 2d was my last one in; I resisted the answer to 1a until the last minute because my ship was a "bark." I agree with Peter about the nice wording of the clues.Carolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15971759975067250908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4711047707101010297.post-12168102683667159662016-05-14T13:26:18.195-04:002016-05-14T13:26:18.195-04:00What a perfect day to do the C&R crossword!

I worked on 6d as an anagram for a while until I saw the light at the end. and for 7d I had the wrong river in mind, but it all worked out. Liked the novel way they put in the two authors.Henryhttp://henryjablonski.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4711047707101010297.post-12605326051312591662016-05-14T12:01:13.943-04:002016-05-14T12:01:13.943-04:00I'm with the two Anons.

I thought both 2d and 8d were good. C & R almost always have good surface readings in their clues. Thanks to them and to Falcon.Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15815451657510231894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4711047707101010297.post-41588576895911247622016-05-14T11:46:02.656-04:002016-05-14T11:46:02.656-04:00Good day Falcon and company,
