I think the basic message spelled out in tonight's verticals is one which has been used before in a Sunday Puzzle. But it's a message worth repeating.
I probably won't be able to join in tonight's puzzle party. (I'm away from home this week, and probably won't get home until late Monday.) But I'm look forward to being part of the solving party next week when pucklady will be hosting our monthly potluck puzzle party.
Have fun with tonight's puzzle, and I'll see you at next week's potluck!
Here are the clues for tonight's JulieCrostic.
If you're not familiar with JulieCrostics you can find complete instructions (and a practice puzzle) in last night's Sunday Puzzle Warm-Up.
As usual it's wise to beware of mischief from the Sunday Puzzle gremlins, who love to alter the capitalization, punctuation, and occasionally even the word spacing of clues -- and who bundle the clues into tidy little groups of 3 regardless of how many answers there actually are in the rows.
