Today's New Jersey puzzle was passed along to me recently by someone who enjoyed working through it with friends. How well do you know your "Friends"? If you ever want to find out, here are your categories as devised by Ross: Fears & Pet Peeves, Ancient History, Literature and:

Today's puzzle takes us to the U.K. I've been a fan of Elton John's work for a long time, but there is a lot of his catalog outside of the "greatest hits" that I'm not familiar with. Thus I've ended up being rather confused recently when the radio plays his recent song:

Earlier this week was the 150th birthday of Yellowstone National Park. Some day I'm going to do a big trip out west and visit a lot of the parks I haven't been to. Let's head today to Montana today for some:

Today's puzzle takes us to New York City. I may have the opportunity to travel there next month, and I'm having fun reliving my previous caching adventures there and looking for more potential targets that have popped up in the nearly 6 years since I was there. As much as I am enjoying having something to look forward to, I can't stop thinking about the sad news that keeps coming out of Ukraine. It's:

Today's puzzle takes us to Germany. Back in January of 2021 my students and I were all so happy to be able to start meeting in person again once a week that we didn't complain too much about having to wear masks to do so. Since then more and more of my classes have gone back to meeting in person, but until Tuesday morning I hadn't been able to teach one maskless. I'm working at two different campuses right now, and while teaching at the second one in the afternoon, masked, I learned that they are dropping their requirement for masks tomorrow. I know that this may all change again at any moment, but I am crossing my fingers that I've taught my last class while masked!
I'm not sure how many of you may have noticed this, but there's a funny thing I've found is happening when I see someone without their mask for the first time: I tend to feel like they don't look like what I had thought they would. Somehow my brain has filled in details of what I "think" they should look like without their mask, and then when I actually see them without it my brain feels very confused because the reality is different that what I was subconsciously expecting. I'm looking forward to find out what more of my students actually do look like:

Let's travel to Georgia today. Getting there is easy ... just close your eyes, click your heels three times and repeat after me:
