Crossword #8: Meet in the Middle
We are finally getting some summer-like weather here in Minnesota. I know it is technically still spring, but Memorial Day weekend is a fine time for summer to arrive. My puzzle #8 does not have a summer theme, so I’m not sure why I am running on about the weather. It does have a breezy, bubble-gummy theme, though. Not something over-clever and winter-ish. Solvers need not have memorized nicknames for 200-year-old symphonies or anything like that.
Speaking of bubblegum, doesn’t the stuff in that can look tasty? That really is gum in a very odd, kitschy can. Meatball shaped and flavored gum is also available. Get ’em while they last!

Notes
- The Across Lite program can be downloaded for free at Litsoft.com and runs on Microsoft Windows and Apple OS X. I can recommend it unreservedly. It is easy to install and use, and is free of any of the malware garbage that commonly plagues freeware.
I think crossword puzzles are best solved with paper and pen (or pencil for cautious types). But I can no longer use a pen, and so am very grateful the Across Lite program exists. [^]
