Today's puzzle, by Billie Truitt, is called "Recycling Day." You guessed it, it's about things that we have to put in separate bags and bring them to their proper places:
20A: Student project (RESEARCH PAPER). Do you remember the days when you were assigned a paper or report, made an outline, pored over books at the library and took notes, wrote a draft, and wrote the final paper? With all the concentration on test prep, it seems that students these days are lacking that skill. Thankfully, my son gets assigned many research papers at the online school where he is enrolled. If you're stuck on a topic, see the Web site Best Essays.
38A: Fine-print enlarger (MAGNIFYING GLASS). Fortunately, my eyes are in pretty good shape, save for the progressive lenses and multifocal contacts I wear for reading. Some things under a magnifying glass are pretty scary! However, I remember having so much fun playing with them when we were young.
58A: Gardening device (SPRINKLING CAN). I do not have a garden, so I have no use for this. Pictured on the right is the basic watering can that every mom (including mine) in my Long Island neighborhood owned. We used them for other purposes, like water fights.
Today's cryptoquote is by Francois de la Rochefoucauld (Pictured on the left. I think his name is longer than the actual quote):
There is nothing men are so generous of as advice.
Wow, Mr. de la Rouchefoucuald goes way back (1630-1680). Born to a wealthy noble family, he spent much of his life in the military. He was best known for his writings Maximes and Memoirs.
And my advice to you is to start drinking heavily! (John "Bluto" Blutarski in Animal House).
Have a good night!
