Dear Alan:

I cannot locate the '10-letter' tab, nor do I see a full screen option as described in your 'Chi upgraded' post.

Any suggestions?

Dear Alan:

In my case it was a found half hour! I couldn't believe how many little chores I completed while waiting. So, no apology needed in my case.
AND...'finger fault,' love it, too! The mind is amused by the possibilities...

your loyal fan,

Dear 2 tanners, er, Bob?

LOVE your name! My husband is Robert, and now I'll have a new nickname for him.

Where do you live, if I may ask? Chi players are a global phenomenon!

PS: congrats on your speedy attainment of a rosette!

Might I suggest 'bloodhound?' It is, after all, used for searching...

But perhaps, Alan, you are planning to move on to some other life form? Since you came up with Chihuahua, I trust you to find the perfect ten-letter word for the Big Chi.

Dear Alan:

I like the idea of the staggered start times. Right now, the new Chi appears at 4pm, in a few weeks it will be 5pm. This means that dinner preparation gets short shrift at our house unless I am able to use serious self-restraint and wait until the evening to play. :)  I think the reason some of us enjoy playing just as the puzzle appears is the feeling of being 'in the chase,' at least that is sometimes true for me.

I am lukewarm regarding the 'super-sizing' of the puzzle to ten letters. Not sure what would be the point of this. Just think, if the puzzle allowed 45 letters, we'd at last have a reason to use Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis. and develop repetitive motion disorders.

Ha! Just my ha'penny's worth of opinion.

Thanks, Alan, for your wonderful work and creativity.

Dear Alan:

 ...So, in a day or two, I won't be able to log in, but a screen will appear asking for my password, at which moment I will enter my email address, right? In other words, I can't make the switch until you implement the new procedure. Yes?

Thanks for your vigilance,

Whatever / Re: lets talk about the weather

...and here in the California foothills we are dancing for joy that rain and snow are predicted!

So far, February has been temperate and sunny, which is lovely, but also makes us very nervous about the coming fire season (late spring through the autumn months). We are always hoping that we get enough precipitation to provide a good snowpack in the mountains (so we will have water all summer) and to keep moisture in the surrounding vegetation (so it won't be so prone to bursting into flames).

Best wishes to all, whatever your weather is bringing,

nineoaks
