Fun!! Best Thursday time yet and it was so fun :). I really appreciate the simplicity and/or difficulty of this puzzle. And sometimes puzzles are timely as I’ve been pondering the quantum dual world for the past few weeks. Are we here and don’t know it until we are measured? Hmmm? Thank you for 17min 42sec of pure bliss 👏🏼

About halfway through I had a feeling I just might finish this one. And I did!! Only my first or second ever Friday completion with no hints. Honestly it feels good to finish a Friday after 15 years of solving. I started at 35 and could do about 15 Monday clues and now all this. Humbled. Grateful. Good puzzle with some very clever clues. I liked Valet, Nine and Camera Crew. ✌🏼 p.s. thanks Deb for always encouraging us to not be so afraid of Fridays. They’re slowly becoming my dark horse favorite.

The alumni magazine for Oregon State University is the Oregon Stater. Agreed not a common term just giving an example :)

I don’t understand 56A. Has me baffled. Overall the puzzle was fun and was sooo close to having it solved outright but needed help with HEATH/HANDOFF. Soon the Thursday puzzle will be mine. Soon. I hope:)
