Wild Cards! – Oct 2, 2023

Krazy Pic 1  Looks like some young man (or lady?) will be DELIGHTED on his/her birthday . . . but not necessarily surprised?

Krazy Pic 2  What a mess!!  Think if that warning cone had not been there!

Cartoon of the Week  Ah, the Lockhorns!!  Does this sound familiar to anyone else?

Things That Make You Smile  Recently, subscriber Richard Barger circulated a small collection of humorous stories.  This one – from the ‘wise old doctor’ genre tickled my funny bone, so I decided to include it.

Amazing Location of the Week  This spectacular waterfall deserves another look:  The Gullfoss Waterfall on the Golden Circle in Iceland.  See another view in today’s Photo of the Week above.

Summary and Solutions  Summer is over, so our re-examination of the Summer ’19 BTs (as edited) is also over.  Here is the Summary of the Solutions and Solvers this time around.

Brain Teasers  Calling all BT fans of any kind – I need feedback!  Interest in the Brain Teasers, even among the usual gang of ‘regulars’ seems to have greatly dwindled over the past few weeks (months?).  Is this temporary?  Do we need a break?  Is anyone still interested?  If you have thoughts of any kind – let me know.  In the meantime, I think we’ll back off for awhile, while our multiple staff members consider this dilemma.  For those very few of you who might go into withdrawal, here is a Pesky Puzzler to consider:  The Case of the Carpet Conundrum.  Feel free to send in your solution, if you wish, but this puzzle is good for this Mailing only.
