    I wonder if anyone read "GETS A TAN" as "GET SATAN". Just me?

    An ear gauge is one of those discs or hoops people wear in their earlobe.
    Good solve today. Crossing ERIVO with, essentially, two more proper nouns was incredibly harsh! 88A could also conceivably have been JOLT!

    'Up Up and Away' is a song about the virtues of hot air ballooning.

      Good spot! And while you're surely right that the 1967 song is the intended reference, Chris' initial reference to Superman was understandable as the phrase was coined for that character's 40s radio show.

      @@timegentleman I listened to Superman on radio. In Costume. Rushed to change for Hopalong. Don't remember what I wore for Dragnet. Thanks for sparking the memory.

    The phrase is still "Absent WithOut Leave". Absent, not Away.
    Sire and dam, not dame.
    Dale Chihuly and his studio are in Tacoma, not Seattle.

      @@Dragantraces His studio is in Tacoma, however, what Chris is describing is the Chihuly Garden and Glass exhibit which is in downtown Seattle next to the Space Needle and is commonly referred to as a museum, even if it’s technically more of a gallery.

    Why do the editors allow NAIR two days running and endless ONO's and OLES? Well I know they are needed to fill awkward spots in the grid but it's gotten old ! I suppose we should just be glad we haven't had OREOS three times a week lately. Theses days its EGOT lol.
