Adiabatic's: Dawn came glassy orange, stained from below by a gelatinous band of pale green.

Which puzzle are we supposed to be working on? Meryl's or Adabiatics? Please say Meryl's because Adiabatics looks too hard!    

I don't think I'm that smart.

Jane, it didn't feel like cheating at the time, but I had part of the puzzle figured out, and used search to look in the short story which was open on my screen.  I found the quote right fast that way.  

But I hope people don't do it that way.   Or rather, I hope people don't count doing it that way as actually figuring out the puzzle themselves when playing against the rest of us.  

So if I do it, I won't post the answer as figuring it out first, and hope others don't either.

"Friend a mine got his oil checked with a horn dipstick and that was all she wrote."

WTH?? Is that right?

Sure enough, Shasta!

Maybe somebody who knows what's what could update the lambs?

The tone was bitter and accusatory.
