I'm three weeks into doing the NYT puzzles, so I'm still learning the ropes. I refuse to use any outside help/resources, so it wasn't until I got the "Almost There" message that I had to figure out where I went wrong: 17D. I had "ST_ES" for 25A, but my brain was not computing the correct pronunciation of "I" in "SKI", so what did I go with? "SKU". I mean...I don't know what kind of technology is being used in morgues, but I imagined that barcodes on toe tags might be a thing!?
