July 21: Morning Pleasures II

Rancho Bernardo, CA

Early each day (about 6:30 a.m.) I make my coffee, browse Pbase, and then devote my attentions to two online crossword puzzles (Yahoo and USA Today).

Today I ran across one that I had lot of trouble solving. Only after I am finished do I move on to the newspaper.

Pentax Optio 550
1/61s f/3.5 at 14.9mm full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Cute Robin, very creative, must have taken some time to do this.

it looks quite nice!!!!

Heh, I think you're doing a FINE! job all by yourself. Have tried doing one of those puzzles without the squares marked off and can't even get by the corners. Can you imagine being the Sunday Times editor? Oh my aching head.
Lou Giroud22-Jul-2004 11:37
Good game and educational as well

I love doing crossword puzzles, but have never tried them online. I like being able to cozy up on a comfortable chair or couch with a cup of coffee and do the Sunday NY TImes puzzle (er ... let me correct myself, TRY to do the Sunday puzzle).
Elizabeth Glass22-Jul-2004 02:19
That sounds like a fabulous way to start the day. This is a tough situation to expose. How did you do it so beautifully?

Robin your galleries are really enjoyables, great photos with lot of fun inthere, and so much "Photo passion" I`m coming day by day to enjoy your photos.

May I make a request? July 27th is my birthday. Can I come in that day and Find another great photo? Kind of birthday`s present, lol.

Big congrats for your great photos.

Karen... you are sharp. There are several problems, however (to cover my butt) I did say I was having problems doing it. My actual experience online is usually a lot of hit a miss til things fall in place.

Actually, I thought some brave soul would take this on and finish it with their own solutions!

First of all, who gets up at 6:30 if they don't have to? Isn't there a law agains that? But let's set that aside. The picture is great. Nice POV, a fun picture. I did a crossword puzzle recently on an airplane and I like how the airline magazine crosswords are actually DOable. Robin, did you know the NY Times publishes a wall sized crossword puzzle you hang like wallpaper?
Karen Leaf22-Jul-2004 01:24
I can see 17 across being a little problem. (Not that this is Scabble or anything, but is 'photographery' a real word?) Didn't even know these existed online. Great, one more reason why the grass isn't mowed. Thanks.

What a fun shot!! I love crossword puzzles -- I can NEVER finish them though!!

Before my home got inundated with four legged beasts I used to do the new york times crossword puzzle every day. now I do it online occasionally on sundays. So much fun, and supposedly it staves off alzheimer's which of course is a plus.

LOL, very creative. I certainly feel crazy and I haven't been here for nearly as long as most of you.
