An errific crossword for an uesday, with an interesting heme that revolved around ICEDTEA. Both Jean and Mike found the hardest of the 4 themed answers to be 51A, Lumberjacks in unsafe working conditions, AXDODGERS; both initially and independently thought it to be AXDANGERS, mistakingly answering 44D, ________ touch, as IPAD, rather than IPOD, and stumbling over 49D, Strong aversions, writing ONIUMS rather than ODIUMS. How odious!For Tip Tuesday, Jean points out the wonders of crosswordese.com, and Mike points out the perils of the wonderful word chain consisting of  ALEE (protected side of a ship), ALEA (a non-existent word), and LEA (grassy, arable land).We love feedback!
