Jazz Up Your Crossword Experience

 

June 30, 2025

 

“Hints from Heloise” published a letter from someone who is tired of the lame Monday crossword puzzles. He suggested doing them upside-down: both reading the clues and writing the answers.

 

He’s right—it takes more time, and writing upside-down really gives your brain some exercise. I don’t know if I have the patience to do it all the time, but if you’re really bored, and have some time on your hands, give it a try.

 

 

 

Whole Lotta Prayin' Going On

 

June 30, 2025

 

June 30—I got on the internet today, and was startled to see a headline, “Prayers Pouring in for 3 States in the Midwest”. Wondering what disaster had struck, I sneaked a peek and discovered that a storm was forecast for yesterday. Later, I saw, “Prayers Pouring in for Florida.” Another storm forecast.

 

“Who’s doing all this praying?” I wondered. “Where are the prayers pouring in to?” (The articles didn’t specify.)

 

It wasn’t until I saw the one about prayers pouring in for Idaho, where a sniper shot at firefighters, that I realized that the praying people are writing into the website The Spun, and search engines are posting the articles.

 

I wonder if we’ll be seeing lots more of these headlines. Has The Spun suddenly started popping up on newsfeeds, or have I just not noticed them? Will the headlines encourage other people to start praying?

 

Questions, questions.

Great Timing

 

June 28, 2025

 

I was at a long stoplight the other day, and the song playing in my car was, “I can’t wait forever…Time won’t let me...” 

 

I appreciated the support from the Universe.
