The Hall of Fire

Either I'm having a really horrible game day or there is something wrong with the Waffle puzzle today.

Edited:
I made it with 4 to spare, but FYI, there were issues with the yellow tiles on today's puzzle.

My library consortium has a 26 week waiting list for 'The Priory of the Orange Tree'. I just might order for my kindle.

Oi, I had a rough day.

“Character class”

That sounds like a mafia shakedown. Is that normal for a political campaign? And what does JFC mean? In this context. LOL!! JFC... :rotfl: OMG.. hilarious. It means Joint Fundraising Committee, but all of the money goes to Trump. And no, NONE of that is normal. Usually funds raised by the Republica...

I'll post George Will's column. The phrase “often in error but never in doubt” could have been coined for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit. The appellate court most frequently reversed by the Supreme Court in recent years should brace itself for another reprimand during Monday’s oral ar...

This is ... I don't even know what to call it, extortion?

“Walk this way”

Prior to last year I had presumed I'd read it at some point, but now I'm certain I had not. I was surprised how much of the story I was unaware of considering Dracula stories/folklore were a part of my youth. 'Creature Feature' Friday night movies were staples of sleepovers.

This. Agreed.

What a horrible waste, in every sense of the word.

Dave, I find Connections fun.. or terribly baffling! Although I believe I've become better at playing it. Inanna, yes, I think that would add to the difficulty.

Still working on Strands...

Are HIPPA like laws needed for jurors? Sheesh. People are mental.

Greene also wanted money for the Hawaii/Maui fires because there are conspiracy theories, which she must buy into, which claim the Maui fires were caused by a 'Direct Energy Weapon'.

“Sew what?”

But the truth/facts don't matter, what matters (to Trump/Habba) is that the trial comes across as Trump being a victim of unfair persecution to FOX viewers. Trump has been making (false/twisted) comments regarding things he claims the judge has said which has caused media outrage. I'm sure he'll kee...
