FINALE: [ ACROSS LITE][ PDF]
PROGRAMS: [Across Lite] [Adobe Reader]
Lest my inbox blows up with panicked emails, I want to get ahead of all the anxiety and say that despite the title on today’s puzzle, this is most definitely not the last BEQ.com puzzle. Oh Hell no. I’ve got to keep this machine going for another … let me count on my fingers here … three, carry the one … twenty-three more years then I can retire. Maybe. I can’t imagine not making puzzles, though. I’ll probably slow down a titch. Retirement? What is this fantastic mythical place you speak of?
For those late to the party (I know who you are), the Summer drive has begun. Read the appeal here and solve that puzzle since I know you’re late and haven’t done that one yet. Then, if you can, chipping in helps keep the machine running smoothly: a $15 suggested tip via PayPal, Venmo (@TheBEQ), or email me pleaseandthankyou. All donors get two bonus Sunday puzzles and one random person gets some BEQ swag.
One more thing. I got a couple emails talking about subscriptions this and whatnot. This site is free. There are no such things as subscriptions. What is this fantastic mythical place you speak of? This drive thing is entirely voluntary. If you’ve been liking the stuff, chip in. If you don’t want to, no big whoop. I’m doing this either way. So please, stop with the confused emails. Enjoy the puzzles. What good’s the internet if everything on it isn’t free?
Share the puzzle. New one on Monday.
6/14/18 I believe the clue for 55 down should be sign of Disuse, NOT Misuse?
You are correct. The clue is wrong.
