Oh cool, my time machine must be on its way.
My wife and I watch Cracking the Cryptic, a YouTube channel that solves sudoku and talks through the logic. I’ve seen similar with the NYT Crossword, so I decided to give it a shot. Pretty fun (though I’m terrified of mispronunciations). Here’s today’s puzzle:
🕵🏻♂️🎈Do I spy a Chinese spy balloon? Spotted between 4:15 and 4:45 from south St. Louis County, Missouri.
I’m not entirely convinced that cryptic crosswords aren’t a collective Mornington Crescent-style joke being played on the rest of us.
9:30 a.m. and I’ve already watched the movie, had coffee and finished the NYT crossword. Turns out getting up early to drop my kid off at the bus makes me do stuff in the morning. Not productive stuff (so far), but progress.
Today in unfortunate junk email juxtapositions.
