It is a stunning geological treasure.

8:12 am

Scrabbler

Maybe we could meet up there sometime.

8:13 am

godthaab

I could not believe the canyon in the middle of N.Y. state!

8:13 am

Scrabbler

All of the Finger Lakes are "canyons" filled with water. Amazing.

8:13 am

godthaab

That would be cool. Because of COVID we don't travel much these days.

8:14 am

godthaab

NY is a beatiful state. I have been to the finger lakes, too. Drove through the state to NYC a couple of times

8:15 am

Scrabbler

Are you in NYS or PA?

8:16 am

godthaab

No, Canada.

8:17 am

9:08 am

mkg

hi all. any clues for the 8 or 9 out there? ty

9:08 am

mkg

need stats too. ty

9:09 am

hurshy

well in star trek fandom, it is unnamed security guards who you know are probably going to die

9:09 am

hurshy

in the rest of the world, it is something to do with letting college students play sports as freshmen twice or something

9:10 am

mael

lol

9:10 am

hurshy

or maybe they don't play their freshman year so that is why they can play the next year as freshmen?

9:10 am

mael

these days it's also holding boys back to start K a year later so they'll be bigger for sports in school

9:11 am

hurshy

weird

9:11 am

mael

totally

9:11 am

mkg

are those clues hurshy?????????

9:12 am

hurshy

yes

9:12 am

mael

compound word, mkg. Color and item of clothing

9:12 am

hurshy

either way, it is a compound. 8/50

9:12 am

flosey

good ones hursh.

9:13 am

hurshy

i do NOT see what one can get for M besides the pair

9:13 am

granadan

We held two of ours back from starting school - because they weren't ready, nothing to do with sports. Why would anyone care about sports with tiny kids? (genuine question, not being salty)

9:14 am

mael

because they'll always be bigger and older than their classmates and therefore presumably better at sports and with more opportunities there

9:14 am

rururocks

i started school early.. since my birthday was just after the school year start

9:15 am

granadan

Crazy. I dont think we are as sport obsessed here in UK. Or dont have the way to use it to get through to Uni.

9:15 am

rururocks

plus my Mother couldn't wait to get rid of me for the day

9:15 am

granadan

rode

9:15 am

mael

I couldn't wait to send my children to K, but I know (and kinda judge) parents who held theirs back on purpose

9:15 am

granadan

trod

9:15 am

granadan

sorry

9:15 am

mael

for sport reasons, not for school reasons obviously

9:16 am

granadan

If your kids werre happy then great. But you are welcome to judge me for holding a couple back - I do whats right for my kids, not anyone else.

9:16 am

mkg

any clues for the 8 or 9? or stats? ty.

9:16 am

granadan

ah sorry

9:16 am

mael

mkg, we've been giving you clues. color + item of clothing

9:17 am

hurshy

mkg - i gave you clues and stats, then mael gave you an easier clue

9:17 am

cybernan
