"beasts exposed" I'm sure has been pointed out could refer to the original zoo located on Harriet

OMG Terry! Maybe that's what I was thinking of. I spent enough time at Harriet during the Horton/Como final clue in the past..I haven't been hunting at Harriet since.

If there's a clue about a philosopher we're in business.

If it's at Harriet Island, it would be in the wild flowers on the hill. It's about the only place I can think of where one would not see anything manmade. (If you were facing the hill raking.)

I think my hiccups are gone.

I really hoped we have a more decisive, this is the park clue tonight.

6 clues down, 6 to go.

That would be the only one that nothing unnatural would be seen as far as I remember about that last Harriet - mad dash to Como hunt.

Harriet Island (also refereed to as "Spirit" Island which impales the dnakness of the vale (which I think could refer to as an island splitting the mississippi river)

Justus Ohage has a statue and lawn at Harriet b/c he donated the land.

He was a doctor who preformed the first cholectoct..(gall bladder removal) = "lose your colic"

exposed beasts referring to the original zoo in st paul first located on Harriet

water and ice (water st and ice on the river)

That's what I have so far.

See, the colon might be important! lol

got it, so the theory goes that this would explain the colons in the clues.

I have no theory on colons. Punctuation is not my strong suit. :wink:

I'd have to look back, but I'm not sure there has ever been a colon in a clue - and if there were ever one, it wasn't as important (or as funny!) as this one tonight.

I don't like Harriet at all. It seems like the obvious clues (sports, valley, arbor, natural) don't fit Harriet.

I think the semicolon when used in clues this year may be a huge pointer.

looks like a contender. the further we get into the clues the more parks it could be. this feels like the reverse of this is supposed to go.

queenmalley

no, more the colic clue part; i haven't had gall bladder problems so I don't know if it can cause colic and if it is removed by Dr. Osage i would be cured...

OT, colons are never important.... look...

It's after midnight. Have a full day at work tomorrow. (I was hoping to get out by noon, but I'm thinking that ain't gonna happen.)

I hope someone has an epiphany and finds this thing...and I hope it's one of us.

Goodnight and SCDs!

"harbor of impressive arbor" could also refer to the marina with the paddleboats as arbor also means "revolving shaft or axle"

Could Great Expectations by Charles Dickenson tie into Harriet

As early as the mid-1500s the jack was called the knave (meaning a male servant of royalty). The card came to be known as the jack during the middle of the 19th century, when card manufacturers began to label playing cards to indicate their value with 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, J, Q, K, A. The obvious confusion between "Kn" and "K" led to the renaming of the knave, being out-ranked by the king.Thus a saying occurred around the 1900s "You're not a king, Jack. Just a Fool" - Scriptie Lger. However, books of card games published in the third quarter of the 19th century evidently still referred to the "knave", and the term with this definition is still recognized in the United Kingdom. (Note the exclamation by Estella in Charles Dickens's novel Great Expectations: "He calls the knaves, Jacks, this boy!")

But, colic when used in another definition... like a crabby crying baby - would possibly be cured by going to the zoo, or (do they still have the amusement rides at CoNo), or a playground... meaning it would cheer you up or make you feel better...

yeah.. woulda been good enough for me to actually go out tonight if it WERE right at BC, by McKnight.

but that's Point Douglas

Thats what I said, but Newell would be too quick hiding it there but yet again we can't keep on thinking its a new park with a new clue.

Oh well. Got excited there for a minute.
