Rex’s story is a reminder that even double-vaccinated people can contract COVID, get sick and spread it around. Too many people are acting as if they are invincible after getting their second shot. When you look up the local stats for COVID infections you will find about one third of newly-reported infections are with people who are either partially or fully vaccinated. Some of these “breakthrough cases” can lead to serious illness and even death. The notion that people can do as they please just like in the “before days” is false and dangerous.

One that didn't: for bidding considerations (I didn't pay too much attention to the plural there) I had AS iS. With that caveat, I'm naturally not going to bid as much. This yielded INUR_ for the bit of metal texturing. INURE doesn't seem to fit with the clue, but with that start...anyway, when I finally got TOWNHALL--yes, once again the NW brought up the rear--I saw what it had to be, and was done.<br /><br />So, triumph points: magunga. That's an exponent bigger than humongous, for those not in the know of such things. I like the varying lengths of entries, all the way up to spanning the grid. I still think it should be CUTE MEET instead of the reverse. Surprised that @lms didn't know "ROO-AY." WB OFC; glad to hear that your sensible family averted disaster by simply getting a couple of shots in the arm. Can't for the life of me figure out why everybody doesn't get it.

Glad it ended well (basically). <br /><br />We get the NYT delivered to support it, but I do everything electronically and online. My gripe with the NYT app is twofold. First, as Rex said, it's not the greatest interface. I use the app Crosswords on my Android phone. It shows both across and down clues at the same time and, by sliding your finger across the clue you can move the cursor square by square. It also skips exactly as I want it to. It's really great and will be missed. <br /><br />Second, and most important, my wife and I cannot solve at the same time. One had to finish and then the next had to clear it We dealt with this by my ceding the app to her (she thinks the interface is just fine) and my downloading the .puz file into Crosswords. Now, if we both want to solve at the same time, we need another Games subscription. I've caved and bought it. <br /><br />Oh, and finally, the Android version of the app doesn't give you Statistics. I have to go to my browser for that. <br /><br />Great puzzle today. Convection (and then a misspelled Rottiserie) before Rotisserie and definitely in the Hmm first crowd.rogerinNYChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11217661373276560686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35115061.post-63207363218574693372021-08-13T21:12:50.168-04:002021-08-13T21:12:50.168-04:00@Unknown

I am not sure I agree with your "scorn" for the POC in theme answers because of the corresponding requirements of symmetry and length that are absolutes. Many delightful themes would be missed if the extra space could not be used. It of course depends on the naturalness of the plural and some other factors too. I know your are more forgiving when there is a high degree of sparkle at times. I do understand your point of view.albatross shellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04076278220407657633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35115061.post-44078437817063466372021-08-13T20:00:21.467-04:002021-08-13T20:00:21.467-04:00Am I the only person who thought "mocking res...Am I the only person who thought "mocking response to whining" was "OK Boomer"?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35115061.post-56712021936271122672021-08-13T19:57:06.609-04:002021-08-13T19:57:06.609-04:00@albatross: SHOESTRING CATCH absolutely is baseba...@albatross: SHOESTRING CATCH absolutely is baseball!

Just putting myself in that camp. <br /><br />OK, first of all, welcome back Rex. Your analysis and explanation of the NYT interface debacle is excellent. So thank you for that. I have been mightily frustrated, and now without my wonderful nerd/geek husband, I had nobody to really explain it all to this bear of very little tech brain. All I knew wasn’t he NYT’s decision certainly didn’t do me any favors, and after all, isn’t everything really all about me? <br /><br />This puzzle was decidedly difficult for me due to the gaggle of impossible spots which required me to use the W.A.G. method in order finally to complete For any unfamiliar with this very (not!) scientific solving method, it’s the Wild Ass Guess.<br /><br />Pop Music? Nada. I am familiar with Lil Nas X only through crosswords but Garth’s song RODEO I did know and that fit nicely. <br /><br />Knowledge of mainstream country music is inevitable to anyone with even average hearing acuity in Oklahoma. Seems like all elevator and background office, shopping venue or other incidental background music is country by default down here. <br /><br />Anyway, RODEO and BIG SPENDER (from “Sweet Charity”) will be today’s ear worms. Kind of fits, too, or at least makes a good mash-up:. 🎶 “. . . I could tell you were a man from the RODEO. Good lookin’, so divine. . . “. But I digress. <br /><br />Never heard the phrase STAR TURN. I haven’t gotten out much, obviously. And I wanted poor baby for a long time. Wrote Ingit OH BOOHOO. I listen to NPR a lot, especially Saturday mornings, and “Wait, Wait Don’t Tell Me” is one of my favorite shows, so I thought WAIT, WaiT was a dandy answer for 17A, and it fit for way too long. As I have recently learned that Australians, instead of “mucking” things up, “stuff” them up, I well and truly stuffed up the NW corner and it was like the kids in the “Cat in the Hat.” All that corner could do was just sit, sit, sit, sit, and I did not like it, not one little bit. In fact, I feared I would end up as a very SORE LOSER with a DNF. Fortunately as Halle s sometimes when I let an unfinished puzzle ripen like fine cheese or wine, a small miracle occurs as it did here and I figure out my mistake. <br /><br />This was an excellent puzzle, made more enjoyable first by my smug insertion of HONDA immediately in response to “Insight offerer,” and the return of OFL. Scary first part of the vacation but so happy everyone came through and that you returned safely. <br /><br />Wishing everyone involved as teachers and students a safe, healthy and exciting “back to school.” I personally foresee a quick shutdown here as the “move-in week” welcomed folks from all 50 states and a large number of foreign countries to campus and throughout the live news coverage and photographs in print media, I did not see a single mask, despite the CDC recommendations. Not surprising though, since it appears that the campus was devoid of signage suggesting continued COVID risk management protocols , and accordingly I doubt it is a dangerous leap to my conclusion that materials directed to students regarding move-in week contained any such information or suggestion. Hmmm, early on in the comments, the phrase “willful ignorance” was employed. . . <br /><br />Stay safe and healthy, everyone. We all want to be able to enjoy life, especially when it. Rings us such fun puzzles as this one!<br /><br />CDilly52https://www.blogger.com/profile/07727001753847073030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35115061.post-83255354087995713132021-08-13T19:47:02.609-04:002021-08-13T19:47:02.609-04:00Very late commenting today, so I’ll be brief:
