Summers are very humid. But that has nothing to do with what the land was 200 years ago when the city was built.
9:09 am

It is a myth that DC was built on a swamp.

11:08 am
MollyL
It's gross here too mael. How were the bees?
11:09 am
hokie carla
the bees were sweating
11:09 am
mael
very few, disheartening
11:09 am
mael
hopefully it's just the suffocating heat
11:09 am
mael
I think they had a rough summer last year, too much rain
11:10 am
BzznBea
You have a hive, mael?
11:10 am
MollyL
Mael is the Queen Bee
11:11 am
mael
I do, but these are native bumblebees I'm helping catalogue
11:11 am
72 Temple Owl
i bought catmint, it seems to attract bees. but i think it mayh be invasive
11:11 am
mael
I volunteer for a local land trust, we're trying to reestablish some meadows in town
11:11 am
mael
yeah, native plants are better for the wildlife, if possible
11:12 am
hokie carla
oh, just found sa5. glad I didn't use it in talking about how miserable it is outside.
11:12 am
BzznBea
Catmint isn't as invasive as other mints.
11:13 am
mael
it's just not as helpful as a mountain mint, for example
11:13 am
mael
the non-native species are essentially just twinkies for pollinators
11:13 am
72 Temple Owl
when i see it at shopping enters it seems to stay in a nice globe shape
11:14 am
moolingwa
first pass done
11:14 am

72 Temple Owl

moolingwa
I have one T on the second row left
3:51 pm
hurshy

3:52 pm
hokie carla
I did get the TS4
3:52 pm
hurshy
name that proper noun! a friend of Charlie Brown
3:52 pm
moolingwa
tspecial!
3:53 pm
moolingwa
I really hated Charlie Brown
3:53 pm
hokie carla
yeah, I tried linus too.
3:53 pm
hurshy
ding ding ding
3:53 pm
hurshy
why did you hate charlie brown
3:53 pm
moolingwa
I'm not entirely sure to be honest
3:54 pm
hurshy
fascinating
3:54 pm
moolingwa
but there was nothing amusing or entertaining about it for me
3:54 pm
moolingwa
and I really disliked that music too
3:55 pm
hurshy
well what bout just the strips in the paper
3:55 pm
hurshy
no music there
3:55 pm
hokie carla
moo is apparently a psychopath
3:55 pm
moolingwa
apparently
3:56 pm
moolingwa
there are very few things life I hate
3:57 pm
hurshy
i hate animal print fabrics
3:57 pm
hokie carla
I'm with you on that. I don't get them.
3:58 pm
hokie carla

3:59 pm
hokie carla
phantom neutral
3:59 pm
hurshy
haven't tried P yet
4:00 pm
hokie carla
just did my best beavis (or is it butthead?) laugh
4:01 pm
hokie carla
how about my right side A?
4:03 pm
hurshy
i mean, you gave ME one from there
4:05 pm
hokie carla
I know, was going to direct the question to moo but thought you probably found it since coming back
4:06 pm
hurshy
no i have been working on letters i hadn't gotten to at all before
4:06 pm
hokie carla
moo must be back to work
4:08 pm
hurshy
do you have pr8
4:08 pm
hurshy
i just got that
4:08 pm
moolingwa
sorry, helping my daughter setup for a zoom call
4:08 pm
hokie carla
weird? the pr8?
4:09 pm
hokie carla
perfectly good excuse, moo
4:09 pm
moolingwa
I have no pr8
4:10 pm
hokie carla
hurshy told me about it
4:10 pm
hurshy
well it might be weird to you but familiar to me because in Star Trek IV, McCoy says, "This woman has immediate post-pr8, upper-abdominal distention!" which means cramps
4:10 pm
hokie carla
LOL. umkay.
4:10 pm
moolingwa
I'd say that's weird
4:10 pm
hurshy
has to do with the stomach
4:11 pm
hurshy
well, food.
4:12 pm
hurshy
you get the stomach cramps after having a meal, so that makes them post-pr8
4:12 pm
hokie carla
I was following all that but still don't know the word. am trying to look it up as we speak.
4:13 pm
hurshy
but now i am missing one P too, so you must have one that i need
4:13 pm
moolingwa
maybe you missed the nutty one, and not the pair of nutty ones
4:13 pm
hurshy
pr8 ends with the **** tone that you hear before you make a phone call
4:13 pm
hokie carla
once I find this one I'll guess
4:14 pm
hurshy
no, i have pr7
4:14 pm
moolingwa
then check you plurals
4:14 pm
hurshy
because earlier hokie was talking about all the nut words she has
4:14 pm
moolingwa
and the 4s
4:14 pm
hokie carla
well, I found a word that ends in that but is not what I found
4:14 pm
moolingwa
hokie is nutty?
4:14 pm
hokie carla
will look again
4:14 pm
moolingwa
tx for the pr8
4:15 pm
moolingwa
10 to go
1-5-1-2-1
4:15 pm
hokie carla
ok, got it
4:15 pm
hokie carla
I earlier declared this the nuttiest grid ever
4:16 pm
moolingwa
found my last i
4:16 pm
moolingwa
so now 56% of my remaining words are 5s
4:16 pm
hokie carla
incredible! impossible!
4:16 pm
hurshy
what was it
4:16 pm
hokie carla
what was the full stat, P&TY
4:16 pm
hokie carla
ps - who else has tried inlaw just in case
4:17 pm
moolingwa
in7/32 sorry
4:17 pm
hokie carla
see, I said full stat because I knew you'd do that π
4:17 pm
moolingwa
I'd already typed i6 :)
4:17 pm
hurshy
it wasn't full and it wasn't even correct lol
4:17 pm
moolingwa
which was wrong anyway
4:17 pm
moolingwa
the ultimate subversive clue
4:18 pm
hokie carla
really keep us guessing with the wrong stat
4:18 pm
moolingwa
yeah, all part of my evil plan to finish first
4:18 pm
hokie carla
not that the stat is helping me at all
4:19 pm
moolingwa
sounds like a sugar
4:19 pm
moolingwa
actually an enzyme
4:19 pm
hurshy
ooh i was so close, tried that with T in place of S
4:20 pm
moolingwa
didn't realise you guys were looking for it
4:20 pm
hokie carla

4:20 pm
hurshy

4:21 pm
moolingwa

4:21 pm
hurshy

4:21 pm
moolingwa
secret codes to coca cola formula?
4:22 pm
hokie carla

moolingwa

4:22 pm
hurshy
coca cola???
4:22 pm
moolingwa

4:22 pm
hokie carla

4:23 pm
hurshy
thanks, got it now but i don't see what that has to do with coca cola
4:23 pm
hokie carla
it's a mineral, who knew
4:23 pm
moolingwa
I did not I admit
4:23 pm
hokie carla
maybe he was talking about another one
4:23 pm
hurshy
i don't see what ANY of them have to do with coca cola
4:24 pm
moolingwa
nothing, I was guessing what was hiding out in oysters
4:24 pm
hurshy
well at least all of us are finished with the P words now
4:25 pm
hokie carla
moo, did you know we are looking for an A on the right side?
4:25 pm
moolingwa
55.55555555% chance it's a 5
4:26 pm
hokie carla
3-10-10-9-1 here

moolingwa

4:28 pm
hurshy
ALL five the same? idk, i feel like the odds of that are actually kind of low
4:28 pm
moolingwa

hokie carla
ra5/20. multiple indian friend on big bang theory
4:33 pm
hurshy
ok got that AND the T, woot
4:33 pm
hurshy

moolingwa
I was not missing either of those sorry
4:34 pm
hokie carla

4:34 pm
hokie carla

4:34 pm
moolingwa
solid start hoke
4:35 pm
moolingwa
humans are incredibly bad at assessing odds, especially when it comes to risk
4:35 pm
hokie carla

hurshy

4:36 pm
moolingwa

4:36 pm
moolingwa
I always think of it as an outhouse without tea :)
4:36 pm
hokie carla
well I have that one, plus another similar that ends in alcoholic bev, hurshy
4:36 pm
hokie carla
so now I need another la word plus at least 3 lu
4:37 pm
moolingwa
don't forget the verandah
4:37 pm
hurshy
and they get worse at assessing risk when drunk, hence the guy who died recently when a firework was set off on his head while he and his drunk friends were messing around

4:51 pm
hokie carla
yeah, the irish clue is not helping at all
4:51 pm
moolingwa
looks like it
4:51 pm
hurshy
robin hood shot bows and _____. flip the singular of that and then replace the O to get wi5.
4:51 pm
moolingwa
yeah, it kind of is like "witchery" if you changed the consolnants
4:52 pm
hokie carla
oh, found it. I would have thought scottish
4:52 pm
hokie carla
thank goodness I didn't have to rely on those two hints ππ€£
4:52 pm
hurshy

4:52 pm
hurshy

4:56 pm
hokie carla
ha! great minds.
4:57 pm
hurshy
all the corner T i currently have go with other words, hokie
4:57 pm
hokie carla
testune is a demo song
4:57 pm
moolingwa
the 7 could be loosely translated as an exam that y'all take ;)
4:57 pm
hurshy
no, what i mean is, they EITHER go with other words or are easy
4:57 pm
hokie carla
hmm, moo using y'all is a subtle hint
4:58 pm
moolingwa
before atilla invaded he would send out a testhun
4:58 pm
hokie carla
I assume all bottom T's are TE
5:00 pm
moolingwa
while rich people are sometimes referred to as the jetset, those who are prone to ply the waves in search of fish are colloquially termed the netset

5:01 pm
hokie carla
I think he's doing text speak, you = u
5:01 pm
moolingwa

5:01 pm
moolingwa
and then say it out loud
5:01 pm
hurshy
ohhhhhhhhhh
5:01 pm
hurshy

why is the NYT bothering to discuss Kamala Harris' strengths and weaknesses as a candidate if Biden said it would take God Almighty himself telling him not to run to get him to drop out in someone else's favor
5:06 pm
hokie carla
finally found that t - a past tense
5:06 pm
hokie carla
really more of an adj I think
5:06 pm
hurshy
seems like a waste of time
5:06 pm
moolingwa
maybe the flying spaghetti monster will intervene
5:07 pm
hokie carla
we could only be so lucky
5:07 pm
hurshy
all hail flying spaghetti monster
5:07 pm
moolingwa
well "god" could strike him down I guess, perhaps that's what he's expecting
5:07 pm
hurshy
if God is going to strike one of the candidates down...
5:07 pm
hokie carla
1-6-7-5

5:10 pm
moolingwa
alack of a4
5:10 pm
hokie carla

5:12 pm
moolingwa

5:13 pm
moolingwa

hokie carla
I am missing a di5 and a du5
5:15 pm
hokie carla

5:15 pm
hurshy

5:16 pm
hokie carla
I thought that was de5 and it was a phantom all day.
5:16 pm
hokie carla
lol, no. I don't think I've seen that in many years.
5:16 pm
hurshy
de5 also works
5:16 pm
hurshy

5:16 pm
hurshy
well i haven't seen it in many years either!
5:17 pm
hurshy

5:17 pm
hokie carla
I guess it didn't make that big of an impression
5:17 pm
moolingwa
ah, I was missing du5...tx
5:17 pm
hurshy
ok it's also the name of the actress who played Elaine on Seinfeld
5:17 pm
hokie carla
