Thanks to Splynter and Barry Silk for another terrific Saturday Silkie and write-up.
This is my first blog on any site ever so I hope to get it right and add value to your turf. Any help is appreciated. Please forgive me should I err or break any rules.
Being a former postal employee, even before the Zip Codes existed (1963), I was able to get the cleverly clued " ... 16501" right away. Until then, I was just spinning my wheels. I'm always happy when I can complete a Saturday LAT puzzle without help and I'm a happy man today! Everything finally fell into place. It was a bit of a struggle, taking me the better part of an hour, but very satisfying.
Thanks also to Barry G and Marti each for being me the incentive to start blogging, and to all of you. I've been following and enriched by your comments for several years and I feel I know many of you from your posts. And thank you, C.C. It's a privilege to take part. Later.
Felíz Cumpleaños, Lucina. Yes, 77.
