ReplyDeleteThanks Incognito.

ReplyDeleteI had a few iffy fills and for the first time had a few blanks- Tethys for example. Enjoyed it all the same.
Sad to read about Rudolph Diesel in the link. I recently came to know about Diesel as an inventor.
ReplyDeleteTuck and Stout were not intended to be themed words. Grant, however, is on double duty (Cary and Hugh), while I am told that there are around half a dozen actors called Smith, though my eye was on Will Smith
ReplyDeleteGood night, all. Thanks for yesterday and today
