The Civilian Conservation Corps was such a cool part of the New Deal. I hate that the American Climate Corps program was cancelled by the new administration. These kind of programs are such a good investment in the future, I dream of a day where conservation isn't politicized and can receive the bipartisan support it did during the 60's and 70's.

Loved seeing the clue "Top Gun?" and VAL Kilmer right by each other in the puzzle. RIP Iceman!

What a great Wednesday rebus puzzle, perfect difficulty and a fun solve. Also, cRAY cRAY was a stroke of genius, I grinned ear to ear when I solved that one. Thanks for the great puzzle, Robert!

I haven't thought about KNEX since I was a kid, I'm pretty sure there's still a bin of them in my Mom's basement somewhere. What a fond memory, great puzzle Enrique!

Very fun puzzle, congrats on a great debut Rena! Best of luck at Wash U, that was where I first found my love for the NYT crossword puzzle. I'm sure you'll find plenty of fellow crossword enthusiasts there! Sending love from the class of 2019.
