Smart!
I thought "clothes you'd find in a funky Soho store."
Maybe it will after some practice. I've envied people who don't verbalize their thoughts, because this "thinking out" in words uses extra time. Perhaps this pattern recognition is working in another part of my brain, that doesn't verbalize.
Condolences, Tim. I'll miss Moo Moo too! 💔
Reading in Wiki, that they are omnivorous and will eat carrion and even domestic pigs, though mainly they eat fruits and veggies. Tough looking hogs!
The hole is there, waiting to gobble up the unwary!
The reason why this is my favorite puzzle is that moment when suddenly all the words fit. I can't explain the process. Sometimes it happens in kakuro. I put it down, and when I look again--voila!
Nice!

I used to make these, on a small scale, with a few raisins (soaked in rum) sprinkled over the cinnamon layer. The dough was quite sticky, as I hated dry buns. Now the sugar would exceed my limits.😒
My hat's off--heck, my whole head--to the engineers who design this stuff! The last time I touched a resistor, it had those color bands to ID its strength. A woolly mammoth compared with these!

I consider 4 to be a good score. It's only in this competitive arena that it doesn't always cut the mustard. BTW, do any of you geniuses do kakuro? I'm running out of Absolutely Nasty 2 and wonder if I should go for 3 or switch to Black Belt series. @pombalstoat.bsky.social @mrlepus.bsky.social

The book I'm reading, "Great Australian Journeys," mentions another dead man found in 1945 in New South Wales, with a copy of the Rubaiyat next to his body. Oddly, it was marked as the 7th edition by a London publisher that only produced 5 editions. Mystère!
😱
Did the person eat contaminated meat? The article doesn't say. Or did the flies...I don't want to think on it!
There is a connection to the US. His suitcase and clothing were thought to be American, as were the cigarette in his hand and a packet of chewing gum in his suitcase. It remains a mystery to this day. @callie99.bsky.social @pombalstoat.bsky.social @martian-observer.art @mrlepus.bsky.social
On the next page were impressions of letters no one could decipher. He remained unidentified, deapite many leads. In 2022, DNA from his hair gave a tentative ID as Carl "Charles" Webb, an electrical engineer born near Melbourne, but no official conformation has been made.
He carried no ID, and the tags of his clothes had been cut out. But in his pocket was a scrap of paper from a printed book, a rare edition of Fitzgerald's The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam. It read "Tamam Shud", meaning "It is finished" (or "the end.") Someone later found the book...
I think I owe a trivia post, so here's something I just read about. @callie99.bsky.social @pombalstoat.bsky.social @martian-observer.art @mrlepus.bsky.social On December 1 1948, the body of a well-dressed man was found on Somerton Beach in Australia. He had been poisoned, with digitalis.

TIL that ol' Lucy Brown was the daughter of the police chief and "wife" of MacHeath the murderer. I never really listened to the lyrics before.
"So had they slain (Sir Perceval) had not the good knight Sir Galahad come there by adventure. And when he saw all the knights upon one, he cried out "Save me that knight's life!" Then he rode towards the 20 men-at-arms as fast as his horse might drive." The Quest of the Sangreal #BookWormSat
