Grumble

[rhu]

So I get to the bakery ten minutes after they open to buy our special challahs for Rosh ha-Shanah, and the line is already way out the door. No problem, I was expecting this, I brought the Times. I open to the puzzle, pull out my pen, and look at 1-Across.

"How odd," I think, "It's the same clue as yesterday."

Then I realize that it's a production error. They reran stellavision's puzzle from yesterday.

I briefly considered whipping through the entire puzzle in two minutes just to impress the others waiting on line. :-) Then I realized that would be rude. So I simply read the paper.

But now I'm going to have to catch up on three time-consuming puzzles after the holiday, instead of just two. Unless the Times allows the general public to download today's puzzle because of the production error.

Been there, done that. Other reports have come in from Washington that they had the same problem.
