Yes, it's all about fun, then I guess some alcholics, and gamble-aholics state it started out as fun. at some point it becomes an addiction. I am getting to that point where I am crossing the line. Is this a support group or abunch of junkies.

I'm much in favor of supporting this addiction.  Compared to some, this izz pretty benign.

1904   A tornado traveling through Waconia, Minneapolis, St. Paul, and Stillwater leaves fourteen people dead and causes property losses of $1.5 million. The same storm blows down the High Bridge in St. Paul, where winds reach 110 miles per hour, the fastest recorded wind speed in the metropolitan area at the time. The storm also has the lowest measured barometric pressure (23 inches) of any tornado, according to Snowden Dwight Flora, author of Tornadoes of the United States.

Mornin' ralphs (again) Had a spot of a nap, I did.
Me2 you were very well behaved. I thought it was admirable how you looked out for Mucky.
If you have gatorade, it will help you immensely Then some toast & vitamin B. (I've done it enough to know- hee.)

I'll be down at the press tonight, and I will have packed my truck with plenty of things to eat & drink. (like COFFEE!) (& WATER)
Been noodling today- I've come up with Crosby Park.:P

Peter- last year people found me twtching & drooling in a park, and I had to be sedated and kept in a quiet, dark room for many days. Yesterday I got busted at potbelly's when I ran into both my bosses- who were under the impression I was ill.
I told them I expect to BE ill in a few days.

Does anyone have any idea why I can't reply to egrams?  I can open them and read them, but the reply doesn't work.  To anyone who has egramed me today or last night, that's why I haven't responded.

The rhyming pattern is exactly the same for the first five clues.  Yet the 2nd and 4th lines of clue #3 do not rhyme (Pursuit, moved in).  That will continue to bug me the rest of the hunt.  Maybe replacing one or both of these words with synonyms to fix the rhyme points somewhere.  A reach, I know...
