Timed just perfectly to match the mini-heatwave about to ravage NE Wisconsin (temperatures might get up to 90°F😱), Anthony V. Grubb has shown up with a crossword that is, in its own way, on fire — thanks to clues like 68A, Back of a car or front of an elephant, TRUNK (nice one!); 45D, Gimmicky routines, SCHTICKS (oy vey!); and the terrific 70A, Place of buzziness?, HIVE (BEEauty 😀).
Besides today's crossword, we also have our weekly JAMCOTWA™️ (Jean And Mike Crossword Of The Week Award) segment. Check it out to see if your favorite(s) won.
Show note imagery: The Scoville Scale, always handy when you're dining at Chipotle 😀
