I was checking out the newsstand at the grocery store, saw the latest issue of Atlantic. Some of the articles looked good, and their regular features are usually worth a read. But most of all, I was in the mood for a good Puzzler. Work is going to be busy, and I could use a good diversion. It takes me about a month to do it. It’s never just a regular crossword, either; the words can go around corners, or you have to find where they go in the puzzle, or some other deep weirdness. I bought it. Brought it in to work today to make a copy of the Puzzler. There isn’t one; just the answers to the previous one. I need clues like: Cut around to Detroit (6) I complain about one of the Judds (5) Opt for the pilaf, perhaps, with the Spanish fish (8,3) What am I going to do? The Sunday Times is for wimps. I want my Puzzler! ---

Check out the _Atlantic_ website – there was a (small) announcement in last month’s issue that that’s where it’s going to be from now on. And I think it sucks, too. ---

I was just on the website, and it appears that the Puzzler is only for subscribers, so **Robot Arm might be out of luck if he’s not one.** I highly recommend subscribing, by the way. It’s about five bucks an issue on the news-stand, but only about $15 for a yearly sub. ---

Yep. See, that’s one of the things I like about it; just getting one answer can feel like a triumph. Picasso beginning to paint a blue lake orange (5) ---
