I am currently on vacation. Today's abbreviated posting was prepared prior to my departure and provides a link to the review at Big Dave's Crossword Blog for the puzzle that I expect to be published today. However, the National Post has been known to alter its publication schedule unexpectedly, so there is no guarantee that my forecast will necessarily prove to be accurate.

I am currently on vacation. Today's abbreviated posting was prepared prior to my departure and provides a link to the review at Big Dave's Crossword Blog for the puzzle that I expect to be published today. However, the National Post has been known to alter its publication schedule unexpectedly, so there is no guarantee that my forecast will necessarily prove to be accurate.

As this was a Saturday "Prize Puzzle" in Britain, there are two postings related to it on Big Dave's Crossword Blog — one on the date of publication containing hints for selected clues as well as a full review issued following the entry deadline for the contest. The vast majority of reader comments will generally be found attached to the "hints" posting with a minimal number — if any — accompanying the full review.

Saturday, June 8, 2013 — Preliminary Posting

Introduction

On Saturday, I was touring the moors and dales of Yorkshire, England. I'm home, but only just briefly.

Here is Saturday's puzzle from Cox & Rathvon. The solution may eventually get posted.
