Talk about a topic that could mean absolutely anything.
Totally in the dark, a feeling that’s not entirely unusual to be honest, I worked my way around the board looking for non-game words to get a clue. Instead, I watched the FIREWORKS on spangram and remembered today’s date.
I recently attended a fireworks show that was disappointing, partly due to the murky conditions, but also because the drones that made up much of the show had to be viewed from a particular angle to impress; a case of “huh?” instead of “oh!”
In the meantime, it was nice to see some color on the Strands for a change. A rare gift.
