Fav...Favorite of the puns: git ALONG LITTLE DOGIE. Favorite clue of the day: Short on Jalapenos = MILD. Got Job requirement = DYE but don't understand it. Never heard of the LENA river but got it thru crosses.<br /><br />Replies to yesterday comments. @Sfingi, thanks for letting me know Pachisi is Parcheesi, which of course I do know. It never even crossed my mind they were the same. @Cleo, yep 'twas a pun. I knew it wasn't French and had to look it up.<br /><br />Fun puzzle, relaxing for another wet Sunday in erstwhile sunny southern California.CarolCnoreply@blogger.com
