Happy New Year's Eve! - 12/31/22

It's hard to believe we're at the end of another year.  Today's Delaware puzzle was one that was suggested to me as a good one for today.  I agreed, since this is one day I always find myself thinking about:

Holiday Letters - 12/29/22

Today's puzzle takes us to Texas.  I accomplished one of my last holiday chores on Wednesday:  the mailing of the annual photo card and letter.  I don't send nearly as many as I used to, and I haven't gotten them out before Christmas in many years, but I do always try to get them out by New Year's.  When I was a kid my dad would start thinking about the card as early as October, either looking back through the photos from the year's travels or shooting up a roll of film trying to come up with a suitable picture of my sister and me.  I think the most memorable photo was the year we included the dog ... in the mailbox. But the picture was only the first part.  Then there was the writing of the letter, chronicling everyone's activities, and the preparing of the envelopes.  My dad had an elaborate file with individual cards for each address upon which was also recorded what years we had sent and/or received cards from that person. There was also a system of turning cards so they stuck up out of the box if they merited attention for whatever reason ... I don't remember all the details. My job, probably starting in maybe junior high, was the addressing of the envelopes ... at first by hand, and then on the IBM selectric typewriter.  I did them so many times that many of the addresses and zip codes were permanently imprinted in my brain.  That's probably how I recognized,  while geocaching in California,  that I had found myself on the street where my dad's cousin used to live. These days, it's a much faster process, but I can't see this tradition making it to the next generation.  Before long I'm betting the only holiday letters will be:

The best side benefit of this game is making new friends around the globe. I attend the Going Caching mega event in Rome, GA every year. It is centered around puzzles and the area offers a plethora of amazing mysteries beyond those placed for the event. This year, I have developed a long-distance friendship with fellow solver, SpeedCity, as we have been working together on puzzles in anticipation of the event. Hopefully, we will get to meet in person while there, but regardless we have had a lot of productive give-and-take and it is almost always a good thing to look at stuff from different perspectives.

We also watched our first NFL football games, and since our Minnesota Twins seem to be fading from the pennant race (after a season that actually went much better than many predicted) we're about ready to switch sports seasons as well.  Still, I'm betting we will have at least one or two more warm days, and maybe a few good baseball games left to watch during the transition of these:

Brace for Impact - 9/6/22

Those of you who have been following the blog for a while know that I am a big fan of fellow geocacher The Rat and his Cliff Knowles mysteries.  I'm happy to report that there is a new one out, by the title of Brace for Impact.  Read more about it here.  I read it over the weekend and gave it 5 stars.  In honor of the occasion I'm re-featuring one of my favorites of his puzzles.  He has a wide variety, including some requiring decrypting some tough ciphers and lots of crosswords (including some juicy cryptics) but for this one you just have to figure out:

Just Letters - 9/4/22

Today Ol'Fogie is sending us to Wisconsin.  Here's what he has to say:

A to Z

Today's offering is best summed up by the description itself:

"We use letters every single day and probably never even think of them. I've also done many puzzle caches that letters in various ways. There have been numerous ciphers (Pigpen, Baconian, Vigenere, ROT13, etc. There have also been numerous anagram puzzles and other "word" type puzzles. I've counted letters, rearranged letters, using the letters position in the alphabet, etc. There are so many unique ways to use letters in puzzles that's it impossible to list them all here."


And so, here is another contribution that centers on using…

All a Blur - 9/4/22

This week has been so busy, it's all a blur. And in recognition of that I'm letting Ol'Fogie send us to Florida.  Here's what he has to say:

The Final Frontier - 8/31/22

Today's write-up is another from Ol'Fogie, and it gives me the opportunity to bid farewell to Nichelle Nichols, who passed away earlier this summer.  In sending us to England today, he  writes:

Another Puzzle From the Enterprise


I mentioned in a previous stint here that I grew up a Star Trek fan. I'm pretty sure I was hooked at my young age by the somber, intense opening words spoken by Captain Kirk. I can still vividly hear William Shatner speak those famous words…

Cat People? - 8/30/22

My first day went fine, but I'm happy to let Ol'Fogie keep steering the ship for a few days while I settle in.  Here's what he has for us today:

Everybody Wants to be a Cat


I am neither a "cat person" nor a "dog person." I like them both but my current family makeup only includes a feline. Jenny is both my finicky, but loving, furkid and bane of my existence. She purrs loudly as I rub her chin and then attacks my arm, using full claws and teeth, a millisecond later with absolutely no provocation on my part. Then, as the blood streams down my hand, she licks my nose and looks at me with remorseful eyes. No, I don't understand her, or any other cat for that matter. Today's puzzle was created in honor of a family whiskered one. Enjoy the art and mystery of…

I Don't Know - 8/23/22

I went to the mall one day this summer, specifically aiming for the store where I usually get my manicure supplies.  The store had closed, though, and a furniture store had taken its place.  So I'm probably the only person in history to ever go shopping for nail polish and end up buying a couch.  Now that I have a better place to sit and watch TV with my husband, I've been watching a lot more baseball games.  Did that help with today's baseball-themed puzzle from Georgia that was passed along to me recently?:

I've been saving this puzzle for today for a long time, since 8/13 is International Left-Handers Day.  I think I was a junior in high school when I started noticing the preponderance of left-handers I knew who were good at with math/science, or music, or sometimes both.  Being strongly dominantly right-handed myself, I sometimes used to try to exercise the other half of my brain by trying to write left-handed.  It never went very well.  Have some fun with these:

Dodgers.  Although I grew up in Tennessee, I was born outside of L.A., and we had a lot of family there.  I've always had a real soft spot for their wonderful announcer Vin Scully, and was saddened to learn of his passing this week.   In his honor, take a look at:

Blue Switch Day - 5/2/22

I mentioned the other day that I was burning the midnight oil trying to finish writing up a puzzle that I had hoped to debut at an event the following morning.  Now that it's been solved, found, and published I thought I'd share it with you today. The inspiration for the puzzle is "Blue Switch Day," which is today.  After thinking all week about several different possibilities for a blue-themed puzzle, I finally came up with something that seemed workable and at least mildly entertaining Friday evening.  After having it tested I still felt a bit "meh" about it, so I ended up trying something different, tweaking it a little more during testing, and ending up with what you'll see here, which I'm pretty happy with.  Try your luck with:

Today's puzzle takes us to Tennessee.  Most evenings after work my neighbor and I walk our dogs together, but today I ran late and ended up going by myself.  While I missed our usual chat, it was a very nice evening and I saw lots of different birds out enjoying the first hints of Spring.  At the end of a long day it was good to take a moment to listen to their songs and just reflect on:

Spring Break #7 - 4/10/22

 Here's what guest puzzle-picker Ol'Fogie has to say for his last offering (for now):

This mystery recently dropped in my neck of the woods and I was immediately

intrigued. Right away, I noticed something that seemed out of place, but I couldn’t

make the connection. Then, I created a brain trust with my friend antbedy and

she discovered the pivotal starting point. Sure enough, that was the key to the

solve and I was kicking myself because…

Spring Break #6 - 4/9/22

 Here's what guest puzzlepicker Ol'Fogie has to say for today:

I’ve always loved spam. The salty goodness. It was part of regular grocery store
trips with my mom. Nothing to notice. Nothing out of the ordinary. Nothing different
about it. It’s just good, simple comfort food.

I grew up eating spam. Sliced, crisped in the frying pan, with rice and a fried egg.
I love it between toasted Hawaiian buns or in an omelet...just SO GOOD! I’ve even
fixed spam spaghetti (onions, garlic, spam, and a jar of good ole’ Ragu).

Then scammers had to come along and give the tasty treat a bad connotation. I still
love the canned goodness, but I hate running every text message and email
through…
