At first I thought that skill level was annoyingly low, but now I see I accidentally used an eliminated number a second time, so I deserve it.

Not even close on most of them! I did try to do something with traffic violations, but what are points? I don't think I've ever noticed that as an element of a traffic violation. I tried guessing "stick" in that category, thinking that might be slang for a steering-wheel lock.

I tried a new one in the Atlantic today. I must have done OK to be elected "mayor." It wasn't bad, but I'm not ready to take on any more. As it is, I do the NYT mini crossword but I don't post the results here because they don't really say anything.

Hmm, I'll have to try bracket city.

I don't do the mini-crossword but I have started doing the New Yorker crossword on the last page. I'm really enjoying it and it's nice to be able to use pen and paper for puzzling.

At least I got the purple, but that's obviously it.
