    Today being the 111th Anniversary of Arthur Wynne's finest creation: The Crossword Puzzle. This is technically a holiday specifically for us.

    I think 55 Down ETD refers to tracking a package, Estimated Time of Delivery.

      I was thinking a train track - estimated time of departure for a train.

      I wonder if its name will eventually revert to its First Nations name, a la Denali.

    "IT CAN HURT" certainly described how I fared on today's puzzle. Took me over 2 hours -- but I was watching TV at the same time! LOL

    PBS succeeded NET, or National Educational Television, in the early 1970s. The first show to air on the new arrangement was indeed “The French Chef,” which had been in production for several years on NET.

    I'm not sure if Blue Laws address explicit material. But in New England, they are mostly known as bans on alcohol sales or gambling. In many places, you couldn't purchase alcohol on Sundays and still can't before a certain time. Also, in many places, you can't purchase alcohol in grocery stores but have to go to licensed alcohol stores.

      As a lifelong Californian I found this rather an annoying surprise when staying in such states. .

    I thought you did well after a slow start!
    You didn't go back to 53D - a bad place to be stuck is a RUT.
