ReplyDeleteMy first guess turned out to be right; I guess there wasn't any threat there.
ReplyDeleteYou don't have to be a magician to solve this conundrum.
ReplyDeleteMe, too, Wolfgang. First guess. Not bad for someone who got Covid this week. No clue here. Maybe later.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear that. I got COVID before Christmas, and finally threw it out together with the old year. Fingers crossed you won't have it that long.
DeleteThank you for the kind words. My wife just tested positive this morning. For a while, it'll be a rough ride.
DeleteSorry to hear that. I hope you all get well soon.
DeleteDr. K, sorry covid hit your home. Feel better soon.
DeleteMy sympathies as well. I recall you are a hoops devotee and hope your athleticism will power you through with minimal ill effects.
DeleteThank you, sdb, word woman, and Nodd. We managed to avoid it for years. If there's a quasi silver lining, it's that I received the diagnosis literally the day before we were to go out of the country for a holiday. Needless to say, trip's off.
DeleteSo far, my girlfriend and I have avoided the dreadful disease. Several of our friends have had it, though. No one described it as fun. I hope you get well in short order.
DeleteThank you, Chuck. May your girlfriend and you continue to avoid it. Your friends (or you) certainly have the gift of understatement. Fun, it most definitely is not. Fortunately, we're both maximally vacccinated and boosted and have excellent medical care.
DeleteBest wishes for a speedy recovery! And definitely get the paxlovid asap if you're eligible.
DeleteThank you, Dr. A. I’m already into day 3 of Paxlovid. My wife will start tomorrow.
DeleteDr K, I wish both of you a speedy recovery. I advise you to reach out to your medical provider (if you have not already), and request some of the treatments available. I also recommend that you get as much fresh air as you can, to reduce how much you breathe back in the virus. Either getting outside, a Corsi-Rosenthal box, or even just taping an air filter to the back of a fan can help.
DeleteI just saw your paxlovid comment above, so it's good to see you're ahead of me! :-) Please be aware of the "rebound" associated with that.
DeleteDr. K,
DeleteSo sorry. Best wishes to you and your wife for a speedy and complete recovery. With both of you infected, you will not be the best caregivers for each other but at least you can isolate together.
Thank you, JAWS and Lorenzo. My better half is also my angel. She's a day or so behind me, but she's without question much tougher. I don't know what I'd do without her.
DeleteMy wife and I had Covid last month. Sick for a day or two, tested positive for 15 days. Of course, that's with 5 shots and Paxlovid, but I found the illness itself to be much less bothersome than all the masking and testing and quarantining.

ReplyDeleteYou can make quite a fruit salad out of these letters.
ReplyDeleteI've having a hard time coming up with a really good clue.
ReplyDeleteAnd changing one letter of the job rearranges too.
ReplyDeleteI'll bet I'm not the only one who will find the right fruit for the wrong reason.
ReplyDeleteSlightly rearrange the four deleted letters, and get another "job," albeit one that usually pays significantly less than Rob's "type of job." Interestingly, if you move one of the letters from Rob's "type of job" and add it to the one I've alluded to, you get a phrase that's relevant to the "job" I've alluded to.
ReplyDeleteHey Coach Z! Hey Coach Z! Whaddaya got? Whaddaya got for me? How about that? Wanna play some soccer? Some hockeyjock? I got whatever it takes! Hey, ya want some salad? Pasta salad? Tuna salad? Fruit salad? Fruit salad! Fruit salad! Fruit salad! Salad ...Salad as a rock? Um... Coach Z, what are we doin' here?
ReplyDeleteI'm sure there's a clue in there, but sounds like word salad to me.
DeleteGood Jorb?
DeleteMy girlfriend and I started out in the watermelon patch but soon realized we had to go elsewhere.
ReplyDeleteI have tried all three of the fruits. None of them are in my regular rotation. No clue here, unless you know what I've been eating.
ReplyDeleteTwo of the three fruits flourish in my neck of the woods. No clue here either, unless you know where I live. ;)
DeleteWhat do you call a skydiving dwarf?
ReplyDeleteA shortfall?
DeleteThat could be a tossup.
DeleteJumpin' Trumpkin? Do they skydive in Narnia?

DeleteThe reason you may not have heard of dwarfs and midgets skydiving is because they tend to be the most overlooked members of our society.
DeleteYou mean they canopy easily seen?
DeleteThat's right, and if you can't see 'em, you can't chute 'em.
DeleteBut wouldn't their presence on the plane be manifest anyway?
DeleteNot if they're quiet and reserved.
DeleteThey'd have to be spotted eventually or they might miss the drop zone.
DeleteI don't think they'd by missed if it were a sunny day.
DeleteWhen I was jumping in the 1970's there were strato clouds every day.
DeleteI figured if a skydiving soldier is a "paratrooper", then a skydiving dwarf might be a "paragnome".
DeleteThat's clever; I didn't think of trying an anagram.
DeleteOr, another fruit and a place you can find all 3 of them.
ReplyDeleteI think we're on the same page.
DeleteSame puzzle, but instead, name a third fruit that is not part of the intended solution, and the name of a country whose capital is also the name of a type of the fruit.
ReplyDeleteI'll drink to that!

ReplyDeleteNice clue!
DeleteThanks, Leo! It's only phonetic but I thought it fit pretty well ....
DeleteI ate one of these fruits last night, but explaining how it was prepared would be TMI.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed a bit too last night.
DeleteLike Wolfgang, I guessed the long fruit first. Apparently unlike Wolfgang, I got sidetracked by trying to squeeze another fruit out of it, and when I was left with just a country, I gave up on that one.
ReplyDeleteBut I have it now! And I even understand Blaine's clue! And, come to think of it, a remark *about* Blaine's clue kind of wraps around itself and forms another clue.
Okay, I would call this a puzzle, so no pffft this week. A fairly easy puzzle, but still, a bit of a challenge until I took pen to paper. The first fruit has more than five letters.
ReplyDeleteThe first fruit as 10 or more letters since there is no fruit with less than 4 letters (except fig), so 4 + 4 + 2(the two removed letters) = 10, a minimum...
DeleteOkay, that's a challenge.
DeleteAha!
Deletehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gac

ReplyDeleteIt was nice to hear Will's gracious welcome and discussion of old times with his repeat guest.
I'm not sure I know about the 1996 "no answer" episode, only the later one. Ayesha seemed to think they are common.
Ayesha also remarked about how it became clearer after Will REPEATED the same presentation he gave last Sunday. Did anyone else notice that? And the guest was allowed to indicate the myth that old age means decline of brain function without her correcting that crap. Strange, when they interview some people over 100 on NPR who are as tarp as a shack.

DeleteSolved this one while still in bed on a sad day for our family. Our beloved 14-year-old Maltese dog Carina is terminally ill, and we have arranged to have her euthanized later today. It was a hard decision but this is the right time, before she endures days of pain and discomfort.
ReplyDeleteLorenzo, the hardest day and the right choice to help Carina along. Amazing how much they love us and we love them. So very sorry.
DeleteLots of us have been in the same place, and know a bit of what you are going through. Condolences.
DeleteI do not know if this will help you deal with the grief, but I have met many, many people who have had NDEs where they were met by deceased relatives and friends on the other side. And sometimes they are also met by a deceased pet who they had put down due to illness, and the pet(s) would thank them for having done that for them.
DeleteLorenzo, Please accept my sincere condolences. Such a decision is never easy. We euthnanized our loyal and devoted family dog several years ago. It broke our hearts, especially our daughter's.
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteLorenzo, There are support groups for loss of pets. I am grieving too over pets. I wish you strength.
DeleteSDB, Dr. K and Natasha – Thank you for your kind and supportive words. I don’t know what Carina is thinking, but she would certainly be thankful to know that we protected her from unnecessary suffering. As for support groups, all your condolences are already a step in that direction and we are thankful to have Blaine’s community supporting us during this difficult time.
DeleteMy sincere condolences as well, Lorenzo. Pets are family, especially dogs. I hope she had an easy, safe journey. Peace to her; comfort to you and yours.
DeleteThank you Wolfgang. The vet came to our house Sunday afternoon and Carina passed peacefully on the bed in our arms.
DeleteLorenzo,
DeleteAgain, if it helps, you can take comfort in knowing that your pet did all it could for you, and you did all you could for your pet, and that is all well and good. My condolences.
SDB - Yes, that knowledge helps ease the pain. Thanks.

ReplyDeleteGot this one too. I have had all three of these fruits in a single fruit salad.
ReplyDeleteAnd I understood Blaine's clue for once.
The fruit really rocks!
ReplyDeletePomegranate phonetically contains "granite", a type of rock.
DeleteI have all three in my fruit bowl. And part of one in my fridge.
ReplyDeleteIt *was* the first one I thought of, though it took me a bit to get which other fruits it mixed into. I guess I was rusty.
ReplyDeleteOne of the fruits reminds me of a two word exhortation.
ReplyDeleteMove aside and let it happen, Clark.
DeleteIt looks like we will be in for a year of insipid, childish puzzles from what we have been given so far. How sad.
ReplyDeleteName a common animal in one word. Drop the last two letters. The remaining letters can be rearranged to name two other common animals.
ReplyDeleteI have a proposed answer. Should I post it, or wait till Thursday?
DeleteI have an answer too... except I wouldn't say all the animals are common! Hm.
DeleteI would say all the animals in my answer are commonly known, but not all are commonly seen by most people. One of them is much larger than the other two and would not encounter the other two absent some bizarre circumstance.
DeleteMy answer: tarantula --> rat, tuna.
DeleteCongRAT-TUNAlations!
DeleteThanks! Your puzzle was more interesting than the NPR challenge, since there are more animals to choose from than there are fruits.
DeleteI hadn't thought of that ... thank you!

POMEGRANATE -TE = PEAR & MANGO
ReplyDeletePOMEGRANATE (- TE) →
ReplyDeletePEAR + MANGO
POMEGRANATE —> PEAR, MANGO
ReplyDeleteAbout Rob’s hint: The “type of job” was of course “manager,” but the four deleted letters yield “poet,” another kind of "job" that “pays significantly less.” And if you remove the letter “r” from “manager” and add it to “poet,” you get something poets are wont to do, that is, “manage trope.” A bit of a stretch, I admit, but in my Covid-addled state it was the best I could come up with.
Many thanks to all for the good wishes. We continue to heal here in Casa K.
POMEGRANATE -> PEAR, MANGO
ReplyDelete> As always, there are connections to earlier puzzles. My comment last week about royalty also applies.
Persephone was all about the pomegranates. Also, wonderful Pom, King Babar's eldest son, is heir to the throne of Celesteville.
> The etymology of the name of the first fruit includes a group of fruits that includes one of the second fruits, and something common to pretty much all fruits.
Pears are pomes, and "granate" refers to seeds.
POMEGRANATE - PEAR, MANGO Guessing that my observation about it being another wonderful puzzle would have been TMI.
ReplyDeletePOMEGRANATE, MANGO, PEAR
ReplyDeleteI have eaten all three of these fruits, but I will generally choose others first.
POMEGRANATE; MANGO, PEAR
ReplyDelete"Silly" >>> Sill >>> A sill in geology may be made of granite, similar to pomeGRANATE.
POMEGRANATE → PEAR, MANGO. My hints:
ReplyDelete1. “Royal secret agent 007 finally meets his demise.”
(Royal Riviera is a kind of pear. In the Bond film “Dr. No,” Honeychile Ryder sings “Underneath the Mango Tree.” In Greek mythology, the pomegranate was known as the “fruit of the dead.”)
2. “Sports clue: Roberto Durán.” (Durán was said to have “manos de piedra” (“hands of stone”), which could be loosely paraphrased as a “palm o’ granite.”)
Pomegranate also has grape. I tried that first and put it aside at first.
ReplyDeletePomegranate also has an orange in there. That's why I felt safe in saying that I would probably not be the only one to find the right word for the wrong reason. Just to be sure, one has to look up things like tempa and menato.
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteWait, the only words in your vocabulary are the names of things you eat???

Delete(Replace the "e" in "manager" with an "a" to get "anagram.")
ReplyDeletePOMEGRANATE —> PEAR, MANGO
ReplyDeleteMy lame hint "I've having a hard time coming up with a really good clue" was "a real" reference to arils aka pomegranate seeds.
pomegranate->pear, mango
ReplyDeleteI forgot I had posted a hint:
ReplyDelete"You don't have to be a magician to solve this conundrum."
Magicians palm (pom) things.
Pomegranate -te --> mango, pear
ReplyDeleteLast Sunday I said, “My girlfriend and I started out in the watermelon patch but soon realized we had to go elsewhere.” Go as in Mango.
It's been a bit crazy here today as we just got a furniture delivery...so I'm a bit late posting....
ReplyDeletePomegranate - te >> Mango and Pear
You can also find the fruits Orange and Grape in these letters, making for an interesting fruit salad.
Happy Groundhog Day all!
I probably should have hinted: Jesse Owens. Because it was amazing watching that mango.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteAll right…by now everybody knows it's pomegrana[te] — pear, mango.
ReplyDeleteMy clue:
My first guess turned out to be right; I guess there wasn't any threat there.
An allusion to the conservation status of the pomegranate—which I thought was "Not Threatened," but according to Wikipedia, it is even beyond that ("Least Concern"). Good! More power to the pomegranate! 💪
POMEGRANATE —> PEAR, MANGO my clue about Comics related to Stewart and Lydia Resnick, the billionaire owners of Pom Wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI have been buying pomegranate arils in bulk at Costco. They add a nice crunch and color to salads while they are in season.
ReplyDeleteAmong the hors d'oeuvres at a dinner party I went to last Saturday was muhammara, an Armenian dip with roasted red peppers, walnuts, and pomegranate molasses. It was amazing.
ReplyDeleteAn Armenian grocery is about to open around the corner and I will be relieving them of their muhammara (and lahmejun and lavash and...) on a regular basis.

Okay, run, don't walk, on over to Lego's http://puzzleria.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteand check out my 2 puzzles he is running now that were recently rejected by Will Shortz. I think you will find them at least a step up from the puzzles he is serving us. Both of them are geographical and the second one is also culinary. They could be easy for some and not so easy for others. Enjoy!
Blaine also has a link in his links section upper right.
Are there not two answers to this first puzzle or is "town" doing some heavy lifting?
DeleteGood point, and I think we should wait until Lego's deadline before I comment, other than to say I do not believe the alternate answer fully complies.
DeleteWhich ones?
DeleteI've been to the town.
Growing up in NE Pennsylvania "coal country" I am embarressed to inform that we used to call a green pepper a mango. I know. How, who, what the heck!! I have met some other people who are not my family who have reported the same strange mis-idendifcation. Weird, huh?
ReplyDeleteAnybody been able to spot that Chinese surveillance balloon, or have an App that shows its location??
ReplyDeleteThe last I've heard is that it's near Kansas City but that is an hour or two old. A quick check and I haven't spotted it. I wonder if Big Brother is blocking its location on some of the usual apps.
I doubt it's being tracked on any app like, e.g., Flightradar24, since spy aircraft don't generally have transponders broadcasting their positions on while over hostile territory. There is a U.S.-registered balloon 61,000 feet over the southeast; maybe that's what people are tracking.
DeleteI wonder if this RC-135U is tracking and collecting intel on the Chinese balloon?
DeleteI bet it is!
DeleteOne of our local TV stations had this on its website.
https://www.kmbc.com/article/chinese-spy-balloon-allegedly-spotted-over-missouri/42760623
I don't think a 400mm lens would get that clear an image of a balloon 12 miles overhead.
DeleteWhy are we ok with satellites spying from maybe 6 times as high, but a balloon drifting uncontrolled gets our knickers in a twist?
I don't think we should jump to conclusions. Maybe it's not a Chinese spy balloon. Maybe it's just dropping skydiving Guatemalans over Martha's Vineyard.
DeleteI am not at all convinced it is a Chinese balloon. I suspect it is George Santos's inflated ego.
DeleteI'm not too upset that it is floating by, it's just the principle of the thing. Why would they bother sending it over when satellites can probably do the same job?
DeleteI'd like to see it get shot down though, as soon as it gets over the Atlantic, just to see what info and/or equipment it has.
But, only if it can be done safely.
You ever fly over the middle of the U.S. and look down? Whole lotta nothing. You send a balloon drifting with the wind over the middle of the U.S., and that's how much valuable intelligence you're going to collect. The chances of it drifting over something of interest about about nil. I'd guess it's a mistake.
DeleteAlmost 25 years ago, a large runaway weather balloon proved to be quite challenge a for a pair of fighter jets trying to shoot it down, staying in the air even after more than 1,000 rounds were fired at it.
DeleteThe research balloon was measuring ozone levels above Canada, the Associated Press reported at the time. It went rogue in August 1998, passing across Canada, over the Atlantic Ocean, and through British airspace before entering Iceland's airspace and then drifting northward.
Satellite passes are carefully choreographed. Same with U-2 and SR-71 overflights in the old days. I don't think this is a serious spy effort.
DeleteI suspect it will become more difficult to track as it gets later and visibility begins to dim sum.
Delete... And it will start to drift low, mainly because of helium leakage.
DeleteDepends.
DeleteThe Chinese are building up a helium balloon imbalance. We must not allow a helium balloon gap!
DeleteActually, an interesting question might be, why have I never noticed that Raven Aerostar balloon, N257TH, or anything like it, flying around until that Chinese balloon showed up? (Probably because aviation foamers weren't looking for balloons before.)
DeleteCould it be the Chinese are sending it as a balloon payment?
DeleteLooks like they might be getting ready to shoot it down off the coast of SC. There's a few military aircraft there, and the FAA's imposed a Temporary Flight Restriction on the area. (Good thing they got that system back up!)
DeleteI see that there is talk of the U.S. maybe trying to shoot down that balloon today.
Delete"Mr. President, I can walk!"
It's been destroyed. Didn't put up much of a fight.
DeleteProbably a lot of the sensors have been destroyed after that high free fall. I also wonder if there is some kind of self destruct mechanism going on.
DeleteThis sounds like just a case of the Chinese checkers checking up on us.
Deletesdb, maybe the ballon is actually Santos' ego, but parachutes depend on full inflation too.
Delete68Charger,
DeleteYes there is, and it is called the Republican Party.
So, why did we shoot down the balloon? Did it represent a threat after it was no longer over the U.S.? Were we absolutely certain no one was aboard? Were we more justified than the Soviets were when they shot down KAL 007 after it had left their airspace?
