I do so many varieties of puzzles that I have a deal with Spelling Bee. I do 10 words and move along. I can't justify spending any more time on that one.
I'm obsessed with getting to Genius. (Which is definitely not to say that I always do!)

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I feel like the Yolo County Department of Tourism should really get on this.

You know, I have never considered whether Yolo County had a department of tourism before. I mean, I go there for stuff but I don't need to be advertised to for it, it's right there. Surely they must have something, though. I'm guessing their signs get stolen a lot

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Weed Street here almost never has a sign. Do you think there are frat house basements with both signs?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I took today off and am cleaning the house. It’s so humid that I am taking breaks to keep from getting sweaty as I don’t want to need another shower.
Finally got the winter clothes off the spare room floor.

Weed, CA is a few hours north. If I were them I wouldn't bother replacing signs, but I don't know their policy (it's my grandfather's birthplace and why he changed his name to Weed when he turned 18. But it does seem like it would be possible for enterprising folk in, say, Chico to get both

My dad used to be a volunteer at Bong Recreation Area, a WI state park named after one Richard Bong. Lots of sign selfies.

Same. I do that first every morning and don’t move onto the other puzzles until I get there. (Or occasionally until I get so frustrated I can’t keep going.) It is not always friendly to my Wordle streaks.

I do the Spelling Bee last, because I know it's going to take the longest, and the others (Wordle, Mini Crossword, Letter Boxed) are just like warmup.

I feel like as long as I get to amazing sometime during the day, and find the pangram, I’m happy. Don’t have to get genius (though it’s great when I do)
