If you didn't know BURN SAGE. go to a powwow and learn all about it. It's for purification. You can do your own smudging. I grow my own sage for it. Sage is a perennial. It grows back every year.
Is there anyone out there who can explain to me what that photo is all about?
@Andrzej------ You left too soon. You missed a great chance to understand American humor.
@Times Rita----"Dear Leader" wins at golf because he plays alone! .... (True and not a joke.)
Nothing exciting here today. Just a bunch of computer terms. Everything in black and white and gray. No color. No pzaaz. Well, tomorrow is another day. Maybe the color will return.
@Chungclan---- A great memory! Elston Howard --- Now he belongs to the ages!
Probably if this puzzle had appeared on a Friday, rather than a Wednesday, there would be less complaints.
@Solver---- "First time for everything."
It was a fine puzzle except for the trespassing rebus. Let the rebus find its own puzzle.....in its own category and not with the crossword. Like meat and dairy, lets keep them separate.
@Dan------ I very much enjoy hearing the musicπ΅. It lets me know that I have earned another starβ!
@Mean Old -------- I have one of those, but I never gave him a title. I just call him Tom because that is his name.
@jennie-----"Country ham"---Loretta Lynn sang about it. Maybe you've been listening to the wrong kind of music. You can find Loretta on Youtube. ....The song is "You're Looking at Country." π΅....
@essay..... But you made it, yes? And that is all that counts!π₯
It was very enjoyable to me, while working on this puzzle, when the important parts would light up in yellow! That added much pizzazz and fun!
@Joe----- You can never know too much about flowers! From Sandi in NJ, the Garden State. π·πΌπ
It was nice when the important boxes lit up in bright yellow, adding pzazz to the presentation.
@Oasis --- Such is the way of dogsπβπ¦Ί and why we love them so much.
@gen z maddy----Ute, a Native American tribe for which Utah is named.
@Patrick----"Hell bent for leather" is mentioned in the song, Rawhide" as sung by Frankie Lane in 1958.
@JohnWM....It's from a very famous poem by a very famous poet, Longfellow. Try using google.
@97Bravo---- COO is about birds. Think of the CUCKOO.
@97Bravo----- about "bill and coo" just picture two love birds.
@Chungclan-----Same complaint here !!! π
@Steve L---- Cheeseburgers= "Cholesterol city" --It's your heart so be my guest. ..... Actually I used the terms "meat and dairy" just for humor, so lighten up.
@Heidi....Teri Garr left us a legacy of over 70 movies! π
@JohnWM...So what? How many of those words on your list have four letters? And how many fit in with the rest of the puzzle? Only the world "rain." Nothing else will work.
@Grant--- THANKS...VERY INTERESTING COMMENT. I ALWAYS WONDERED ABOUT THAT.
@Patrick---- You can look this up on both Google and Wikipedia. There you will find everything you need to know.
@Charlie Fuchs----Just think of it as another word for "donkey."
@Helen Wright------This puzzle is a US based product so of course it has US based vocabulary. What else would you expect?
@Andrzej----- the "puns" are not jokes. They are "vocabulary enrichment."
@Nancy----You can do the crossword later on in your day and not after eating.
@Barry Ancona----It would be helpful if they did !
@Bill in Yokohama-----Also what does "Refuse to Share" have to do with this crossword puzzle that we are all sharing?
@William....... Oh, William, free yourself !!! The world changes every day.
@Rhmanatee....It is a truly great book for kids and I should know as I was once a kid myself! πππ§‘
@Andrzej ---- Pentatonic scale -- That is all the black keys on your piano. You can play songs with just those alone. They were used by early musicians before the other notes were discovered. You can hear them in Hebrew prayer songs.
@Andrzej----Maybe it is time to expand your horizons. Learn to play a musical instrument. Your life will never be the same.
@Lynn---The plant I use here in New Jersey for sage is call "artemisia." This is the closest I can get to the sagebrush of the southwest. There the soil is so dry; I had to see it to believe it. Artemisia has gray-green leaves. It grows to about one foot high. When I rub it, it gives off the same smell that goes with powwows. There used to be two powwows here in my area, but no more. In the moonlight the leaves appear white like in the song, "There's Silver On the Sage Tonight."
@Lynn--- Another good thing about artemisia is that the deer don't touch it!
@Grant-----Thamks....but very weird.
@Cliff Shaw---- A Rubik's cube? Why such a fuss over a Rubik's cube? Old history to me and "dullsville."
@Artemis.....Rubix cube is old history. I live in the present.
@Steve L--There's "a first time for everything."--Roger Miller
@Don H.... Crows eating refuse is a clue?
@Tricia J ..... Thanks. When I did the crossword yesterday, I never noticed the tie in. It's that picture of the crows with the garbage -- Ugh ! It really turned me off. Many times I have found the photos they use too ugly to look at.
@Tricia J .... Thanks. When I did the puzzle yesterday, I didn't pay attention to the clue as the crows eating garbage did not appeal to me.
@Nancy J......Perhaps you should not be a "Know it all."
