Harder than the NYT, but not hard. OUTLOOK seems like the place from which you see a VISTA, a SCENE, a VIEW, etc... so I don't like it. Or maybe I'm thinking of LOOKOUT. Nonetheless, OUTLOOK really doesn't go with the rest.<br /><br />OUTRE for WEIRD.

Little by little I'm becoming a real fan of Gail G. She uses a lot of familiar crosswordese, but clues them in an elegant manner... eg. ETE, SAN, EMIR, YMCA, and SHOUT. Then she spices it up with some fun street-talk... NO HOW, OUTTA SIGHT, U.S. OF A., LOL, SAY HI, and MY BAD.<br /><br />The (landscape) theme was pretty good too.<br /><br />Gotta get going! Have lots of gift cards to spend today.<br /><br />And hey, Puzzlegirl, get over those sniffles! We miss your "sparkle".<br /><br />Have a nice non-blue Monday, y'all!JOHNSNEVERHOMEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13447455788629988277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626052240584383873.post-76919651238882298502010-12-27T09:09:54.751-08:002010-12-27T09:09:54.751-08:00G.W.S!!!!G.W.S!!!!xxpossum@html.cnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626052240584383873.post-12945819710170295112010-12-27T08:14:38.246-08:002010-12-27T08:14:38.246-08:00@Tinbeni - what would you recommend?
