I started out 1 A. with rototiller. Hey, it fits lengthwise, and ya gotta admit, properly used, it does break up a lot.

Raise your hand if you, put FLOOR, for the caution wet clue.

I get my Kix on Route 66. Where, I get my milk is udderly a mystery.

The seat heaters in our car keep our buns warm.

Up here a [ large storage unit] = pole barn.

Ready for a drive, perhaps. I was thinking like a duffer, and had teed.

Still have, " Shakespeare for Dummies", on the book case. " To thine own shelf be true."

Oh no, not another, BENDYSTRAW!!!

Feline=cattish........does that mean canine=dogish? Asking for a friend.

Excellent puzzle, so very appropriate for Earth Day. FYI here, in Emmet County, MI. , we are blessed with one of the best recycling programs anywhere. A bustling Transfer Station, that repurposes many products, and a curbside pickup service, that is very user friendly.

Q: Why was the mushroom invited to the party? A: He was a fungi. ( repurposed from Mini)

Kudos to Trent for his puzzle, and thoughts for the day.

Sam, congratulations on your anniversary, milestone. I am one of many, who enjoys your savory commentary. Kudos, and keep up the good work, EH!

There once was a horn player, named Nan, who was so talented she could tucket. She said with a grin..............

Liquid in some pens? Well, that would be epinephrine, AKA epipen. Oops, too long.

Breast milk container? Wouldn't that be a mammary gland?

Did anyone else, think of Hillary, when answering 17A. ? Anyone? Anyone?

My love of old movies, occasionally comes in handy. Today, it was Hud, a classic Paul Newman movie. Patricia Neal, shined in her supporting role.

As Per Catherine Price's advice in today's NYT- finger up, DELIGHT!

Kudos to Kelly, a fellow northern Michigander, for a fun & lively puzzle. I'm sure that she knows, that Canadians aren't the only users of #65 Across. Fellow citizens across the Mackinac bridge, AKA, Yoopers, frequently finish a comment with an ever-present 'Eh!

Did the Left Banke, think that Renee was in dire straits in their song?

You all may have heard of, " no mow may." How about a spinoff, " No wash Monday"?

If it walks like a duck, flies like a duck, quacks like a duck & swims like a duck. It's a................................................RABBIT????

Anyone else have, EXOTICDANCER for 29 Across? Anyone? Anyone?

45 A. Took me waaaay back, to 7th grade that is. My teacher, at the end of class for days on end, read us Charlotte's Web. Believe it or not, it was something we all looked forward to. Some pig!!

Congratulations Sam on your achievement. Isn't it true that there's no such thing as a, " quadruple double", in hockey, Eh? ( Asking for a friend).

No one from Motown, should have gotten 26 A. wrong,

F for fun= today's puzzle.

Avengers Endgame. An assault on one's senses. One of the worst movies of all time.

Years ago, our adopted British nephew, introduced us to Digestive Biscuits. Thanks Allie. YUM.

I started out thinking this was going to be a multi-letter/square rebus. Then, once I got DARK HORSES, it kinda fell into place. Kudos Hanh!

" Grime doesn't pay", said the forlorn janitor.

Occam's Razor, is a utilitarian tool to be kept at the ready, at all times. My dear Dad instilled that in me at an early age. I've passed it on to my sons.

Other that an excess of proper names, this was a good puzzle.

Revenue generating suggestion. Go to your local bank and get a load of brown paper penny rolls. Then, scour your environs for loose pennies. You'll be amazed at how many you'll find. Finally, load said rolls with found pennies. Return to bank, and exchange rolls for real cash. As a reward for your efforts, go to your local cafe, and buy yourself a tea & scone. PS: While there's tea, there's hope.
