What Time Is It? - 11/7/21

Today's puzzle takes us a couple hours up the road from me here in NY.  In the U.S. most of us will be turning our clocks back today, and while I'll admit that I do like the extra hour of sleep, I find the Fall time change tough because I really hate losing the daylight at the end of the day.  It always seems like there's still one more clock to fix, so for the next few days I expect to repeatedly be asking myself:

Facile - 9/23/21

Today's puzzle takes us to France.  Last week I was bemoaning all the little things that had gone wrong on Wednesday.  So, this week I'll list the little things that went right today:  I did not oversleep despite forgetting to plug my phone in and it going dead so my alarm couldn't go off.  I did not knock off the door on the car next to me when it sprang wide open right into the parking space I was driving into (it just left a little red paint on my blue car).  And since I was so late eating my lunch I did not have to go to class covered in yogurt when this happened:

SNAFU - 9/16/21

Today's Massachusetts puzzle is one I first featured back in 2012.  It's pretty much the best one I could think of to describe my Wednesday.  No big disasters, just constant mix-ups and technical difficulties all day long. This pretty much sums it up:

The History of What? - 9/15/21

Today's new California puzzle actually caught my eye because I misread the title.  I thought it said, "The History of Being Short," which I figured was something I'd know a lot about.  I had a pretty good chuckle when I realized it actually said:

Remembering 9-11-01 - 9/11/21

I first featured today's Kentucky puzzle back in 2016, the 15th anniversary of 9/11/01. It's hard to wrap my head around the fact that it's now been 20 years since that terrible day. My daughter had just started Kindergarten and I was spending the morning as a parent helper at my son's nursery school.  I'm sure all of us who are old enough today will be:

Fall Magic - 9/5/21

Today's puzzle takes us to Canada's Alberta province.  In the last couple of days I spotted the first red maple leaf on the ground, and the Autumn crocuses in our front bed have started blooming.  Even though the days are getting shorter and the nights are getting cooler, the arrival of those little flowers always catches me by surprise. Fall is the undoubtedly the prettiest season here in central New York, but I have mixed feelings about it due to the fact that winter is just around the corner.  I'll have to do my best to just focus on the Finger Lakes':

Fireworks - 7/3/21

Today's puzzle takes us to Minnesota.  One of the first things my husband and I did as an almost-date when we were first getting to know each other was attend a 4th of July concert and fireworks show.  I always look forward to the fireworks each year, and have thought it was very strange that my adopted hometown always holds them at least a few days early.  Even so, I missed them last year when they were cancelled completely due to the pandemic, and was disappointed that none were scheduled for this year either. You can imagine my surprise when a nice display started launching less than a mile from my house last night.  We missed some of the lowest ones due to the trees, but could definitely see (and hear) enough of them to put me in the holiday spirit.  I later found out that the new owners of the now defunct country club had put on the show.  In honor of the fireworks displays many of us are able to enjoy again this year, here's a puzzle about:

Checksum - 6/4/21

Today's Washington state puzzle will have you going old school.  Back in the days before geocheckers became common, some CO's provided a method that solvers could use to rule out some answers as wrong.  However, as you'll see in the puzzle, you couldn't necessarily be completely confident your answer was correct even if you got the right:

I solved and found today’s puzzle/cache a couple of years ago while visiting the Seattle area.

Much of the time puzzle cache titles have something to do with the puzzle itself.

Often they are even a clue to solving. But then there are times when the title has

absolutely nothing to do with the mystery and refers to the final hidey hole. This is

one such Georgia cache where the title points to the location of the final at...
