Think of two synonyms — one in 5 letters, the other in 4. The 5-letter word starts with S. The 4-letter word contains an S. Change one of these S's to an A. You can rearrange the result to name a group of people, in 9 letters, that ideally have those two adjectives describe them. What group is it?janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05927176621372532733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730391.post-77820132231321108932017-08-19T12:45:42.470-07:002017-08-19T12:45:42.470-07:00Jan - I made one of those this morning, simple but...Jan - I made one of those this morning, simple but effective!

Actu...As some of you may know, I live in St. Louis. Actually, my house is just a few yards north of the path of totality. I could literally walk to it. There’s a public park about 10 minutes south of here on the bluffs overlooking the Mississippi River where I could catch about 30 seconds of totality. However, my daughter and I have decided to drive to a farm about an hour south and west of here (she knows the owners). They have trees (shade) as well as flat farmland, folding chairs, a bathroom, etc. And the totality should be a little over 2 minutes.<br /><br />The weather is expected to be good on Monday. My real concern is traffic. People are coming to the St. Louis area from all over, even from foreign countries. If traffic really gets bad, we’ll bail, pull over to the side of the road and just watch from wherever we are. We have our eclipse glasses, food and water.<br /><br />Special note to Ron – Yes, even _I_ remember Candid Camera. Didn’t watch it but I remember it.

I know what I said will be edited because after we had recorded the segment I shared a personal story about what puzzles have meant to me and my husband and Lulu mentioned they'd include it, and why hadn't I said it earlier. (Why? Because she didn't ask anything to prompt me to share it and I didn't want to ramble!)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16167924940479124189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730391.post-87119112997659477632017-08-18T05:13:39.799-07:002017-08-18T05:13:39.799-07:00Congrats, Shari!Congrats, Shari!janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05927176621372532733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730391.post-56331606101227407432017-08-18T00:53:48.297-07:002017-08-18T00:53:48.297-07:00Ain't no rules in a knife fight.<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWTNBRs7Ccs" rel="nofollow">Ain't no rules in a knife fight.</a>Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11114786604125384958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730391.post-20675880645616500902017-08-17T22:49:46.558-07:002017-08-17T22:49:46.558-07:00Think of an unpopular TV show in 13 characters (in...Think of an unpopular TV show in 13 characters (including punctuation and spaces as characters).
