Apologies for lack of clues. My hosting provider ran out of disk space again. Just waiting for them to sort that out and then I'll upload. Not sure how long it'll take

Glad it's a small'ish one

5:01 am

Thanks Lickety

5:16 am

Lickety. Thank you for your update.

5:23 am

Thank you very much, Lickety!

6:12 am

good morning

6:12 am

Good morning, Harry. How are you?

6:12 am

still kicking

6:13 am

Me too.

6:13 am

that's a victory

6:14 am

I went from horizontal to vertical an hour ago. That's always a victory.

6:14 am

:)

6:14 am

I seem to have lost my voice. not sure if it's because of the smoke from canada

6:14 am

or a cold. or allergies

6:14 am

THat started for me on Saturday so I presume it's the smoke.

6:14 am

oh! good data!

6:15 am

though a little concerning, like what's in that smoke that's making my throat wonky

6:16 am

My eyes are burning

6:16 am

I skipped hiking yesterday but today I will use a mask.

6:16 am

wow! how awful

6:17 am

my girls are having rotten symptoms too. and one is asthmatic

6:17 am

When I smelled smoke yesterday I knew it was strong.

6:18 am

It's like sitting next to a campfire.

6:18 am

you're much closer than we are

7:07 am

hello all

7:07 am

I smelled smoke here in Kitchener yesterday

7:08 am

also very smoky here the past several days

7:22 am

We have had a very eerie yellow light

7:28 am

hello all

7:30 am

it's been smoky/hazy here too

7:30 am

no list today?

air alert here but I haven't noticed any smoke. apparently it's pretty smoky in charlotte because I didn't even know there were fires until I heard that last night.

lickety addressed the list problem down in the chat (still on screen). maybe someone has it in their profile.

7:33 am

broll has it in her profile.

yep, Broll does

7:34 am

yes, I should have looked before I asked. not really awake yet.

ha, pinch/poke, you owe me a coke

7:43 am

Wow, that Canadian wildfire air has worked it's way down here. We have poor air quality alerts because of it.

7:43 am

I have Broll's list in my profile.

yes, we do too even further south

7:44 am

where are you located, molly?

7:44 am

it's brutal here in MA, my son had a baseball game last night and I don't think the kids should have been out

7:44 am

DC area

7:45 am

They shouldn't have mael. The air quality alert specifically mentions that the air is dangerous for children.

7:45 am

it's a little better here in MA than in NY and DC but it's surreal to look at the window

7:46 am

but you're right, they should have cancelled it

mr. homie tells me we had an alert yesterday too. I did have a short coughing fit out of the blue on my bike ride yesterday.

well, going to play tennis. we'll see how it is out there. TTFN. 19 left for later.

7:48 am

thankfully not too bad in mid michigan right now

7:48 am

my asthma has been acting up for weeks because of the pollen and the smoke yesterday just made everything worse

7:48 am

be safe out there!

7:51 am

phantoms: all variations of neutral

7:52 am

The pollen has been atrocious this year. I feel sorry for people who are anal about keeping their cars clean.

7:53 am

we need some rain to knock the pollen down. it's so dry here.

7:57 am

same

7:57 am

we got some rain over the weekend but it's clearly not enough

7:58 am

I am getting so turned about with all the Ts today

7:59 am

we had a little sprinkle. we still have extreme fire danger here.

8:03 am

43 left. back later to finish

8:03 am

bye lindy

8:17 am

FW!

8:17 am

anyone want any clues?

8:24 am

I guess only parts of North Carolina are getting the smoke from the fires. My sister doesn't have any. And she is in the mountains.

8:25 am

it's hazy in New York, and there is a breathing warning

8:42 am

WARNING: Don't breathe. 😊

9:15 am

It's Latin

9:16 am

yeah i checked the list and got it :)

9:16 am

didn't think anyone was around

9:16 am

Oh, sorry

9:16 am

no probs of course, thanks anyway

9:17 am

urf, the other ones i missed, i should have gotten

9:17 am

oh well

9:21 am

good morning :)

9:22 am

Hi Nan. We've got your wildfire smoke down here.

9:25 am

we don't have any here. I think it must be coming from Alberta. My best advice to all of you is to dig out your covid masks and wear them outdoors. Breathing in forest fire smoke for one hour is equivalent to smoking a pack of cigarettes!

9:35 am

first col. done - time for breakfast

9:42 am

Molly, thanks for the list.

9:43 am

talon

9:43 am

sorry

9:47 am

I just read that many schools are keeping kids inside. But poor mael's kid had to play baseball in this haze last night.

9:48 am

if there is an air quality warning out why aren't kid's games being cancelled?

9:49 am

Good question Nan

9:49 am

She hould complain to whatever healt authority is present in her area

9:56 am

I'm sorry if this was discussed earlier, but I can't get today's Lickety, just yesterdays. I've refreshed the stew out of it!

9:57 am

Lickety is having server problems. Broll's list is in my profile.

9:57 am

Sophie, do you know how to view the whole days chat?

10:00 am

yes, Molly, just remembered I see it now glad to know it's not just me

10:48 am

Almost Ratattouie today!

10:49 am

rattan

10:49 am

sorry!!

10:58 am

11:35 am

yeah, it was a phantom for me but I didn't know the exact spelling 🤣

11:41 am

hidey hodey

11:45 am

mooooo

11:45 am

hey hoke, happy Weds

11:46 am

how's the palmetto state today?

11:49 am

hot

11:49 am

well then

11:50 am

played tennis, my watch said 72, but it was very sweaty. so I guess I should say humid.

11:50 am

yeah, that'll do it

11:50 am

how's CO?

11:51 am

69 and sunny

11:51 am

and it is a little hazy but not too smoky

11:51 am

hot in the sun, cool in the shade

11:52 am

all the baby prairie dogs have been out lately

11:53 am

I'm assuming they're adorable

11:54 am

gawky little buggers, but yeah

11:55 am

I saw a very cute bear cub last week, but it was with its very scary mama

11:55 am

btw, stuck with 15 left here

11:55 am

that tends to downgrade the cuteness level

11:55 am

14 left here

11:55 am

Just got back - thanks for spelling correction Hurshy - I knew mine didn't look right!

11:55 am

6-4-3-1

11:56 am

9-2-3-1. that looks promising.

11:56 am

I'll say

11:56 am

1:24 pm

l5 alternate spelling of a l4 babblet

1:24 pm

l6 which rhymes with another word

1:25 pm

n6 possibly, a type of animal

1:34 pm

na6 is not an animal

1:34 pm

But nu6 is, think Louisiana

think river rat

2:01 pm

And they eat them down there. Ew.

there is a movement in baton rouge to use the fur for custom contemporary clothing. also in new orleans to BBQ them.

the designs i saw were dope. i gues i would try a bite of one BBQd

the fur is nice. the only nice thing about them. i was dining in the outer banks years ago and the rats were everywhere in the bay

creepy. first time i saw one.

2:51 pm

16 left.

3:03 pm

I have the one nu6 discussed but I'm stuck on the second one

think leonardo, raphael, donatello and michelangelo.

3:16 pm

Thanks MollyL for posting Broll's list

3:18 pm

lol great clue

3:18 pm

3:21 pm

3:22 pm

And yes, thank you to Broll and MollyL for listing

3:29 pm

tonal

3:30 pm

Sorry. No idea how curser got there. =(

3:38 pm

finally home! looking for two more words...

3:42 pm

darn! one was a plural.

I see some clues left for me. I need la5/10 and 6/18 so moo was prob right on that one, and na5/10. surely I can monkey that.

got the L5

got the n5, now just need the LA6 that supposedly rhymes with another word

got it

helo

stranded indoors, air is full of smoke.sun is red.

4:10 pm

Same here. I could have hiked with a mask on but my eyes were burning.

in th elehigh valley, the air quliaty is 250 ish now. it wasup to 500 earlier.

4:11 pm

We were 168 yesterday and 200 earlier.

nyc is awful. i am in the house with the air on, to clean it.

4:13 pm

172 now. It smells like a campfire out there.

we are in a velley but not as steep as in the allentown area. they routinely have air issues but have never seen numbers so high.

i have ra7/28 and ta7/28. anyone have stats for th third 7 letter word? ty.

4:31 pm

been reading the chat trying to figure out the nu6 that is some kind of rat, but not a nutrat nor a muskrat, that is eaten or desired for it's fur in Louisiana and has some kind of connection to a group of renaissance artists who lived in Florence.

4:33 pm

SO7/28 TO

howdy y'all. so7/28. not a word I've seen.

nu6 looks like something that makes food good for you, but it's a rodent.

ending looks latin or something

ty luc

4:35 pm

I have an nu 6/21 - is that the one, or are there 2 of them?

there are 2

the animal ends in 2 vowels

4:36 pm

ok that is the one I have. Is there one that has to do with the florentine artists?

I don't know what the other means exactly, but it rhymes with the teenage mu6 ninja turtles, who are all named after italian artists.

the actual def is drooping in botany

4:38 pm

ty -- don't know anything about the turtles other than the title (cartoon or cartoon movie isn't it)

well, the nu6 rhymes with the mu6 in the title, so you know all you need to know

4:40 pm

FW ! thanks to Broll and Molly for the list

woot!

4:41 pm

yes -- when I saw the names I immediately thought of the artists. They all lived in Florence at one time and the Medici's were their patrons.

4:41 pm

Congrats.

4:41 pm

how's the air quality in your area ? yesterday, il did smell like a campfire was next door...

4:42 pm

*Medicis

the characters came out in the 80s. surprised your kids weren't into them, nan.

I wasn't really either though. and I can't rem. if they are slightly older than me.

4:43 pm

au revoir

bye

does that mean tomorrow, or will it be next week? I don't know!

4:45 pm

miy kids were in their teens by the 80's

4:46 pm

literally it meens until I see you again. A very formal way of saying good-bye in French.

4:47 pm

did someone say there is an so 7?

I know au revoir, was talking about demain

4:47 pm

a demain means until tomorrow

so7 ends in same two vowels as nu6

4:48 pm
