All good.

Phenomenon

Event = direct ; quiet = p; grown up chick = hen; sign = omen, + on

Awesome clue, Pandora. I wrestled with it because once I figured the first letter had to be that P, I still couldn't see how.
As a piano student, I should have known.

24. alert (later) good morning soot

Nice finish, Koala!

9. The Cassandra Crossing ??
(I only have very vague memories of it.)

5. I'm pretty sure Prohibition ended in the early 1930s, maybe 1932 or 1933?

Thanks Marian!

Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed on Apple TV is excellent.

nice finish OldBroad

Thanks Marian!

I liked the Odd Thomas series and the Frankenstein one. I actually liked every book of his that I have read, but I still think the older stand alone books were the best. These posts are making me want to re-read his books but, like with my games, I have so many unread I sort of don't want to start on re-reads. That being said, there are 4 authors books I do plan to try to re-read one of these days. Dean Koontz, John Saul, Ed McBain 87th Precinct series, and Agatha Christie.

Very impressive, Lex! I hope you join me on the Glimmith Islands soon! I've solved over 800 puzzles at this point and I can see there are a lot left ahead in the mists.

I have also had several chats with AI Gemini and found them to be extremely helpful and interesting.

Jimbo, I didn't do well with spotle but it was fun trying.

Thanks Marian!
