(I think that Hoyt is spreading himself too thin. This answer is just screaming for a hyphen! Without the hyphen you lose the double meaning. Yesterday’s IMPASSE was a little weak on the double meaning, as well. All the clue words were jumbled really well though. It always takes me a little time to get “opera”, and “vodka” took me a good long time to get! I got the longer words right away, today. The answer letter layout was a thing of beauty. And, Jeff did a great job on the cartoon. You can really tell the difference between the driver – the crocodile – and the cousin – the alligator/navigator. No new clue words today. That is all. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR
