WOW !
This one really stirred up a hornet's (bee's ?
*) nest.
Great. I'm glad you found it challenging.
Aristo, thanks for stepping into the breach & giving such good hints. I've been working late.
Also, you found a more solid theme for "A" (37A) than I did. Mine was Ohio cities. Oddly enough, that also works.
Looks as if it's all sorted. Well done.
I'll post my solution in a couple of days, in case someone else is still working on it.
Les, don't you still have that jacket from before? (-;
You might need it for the next one.
* I've been teasing about the Bee puzzle, but thought this one should go first as it's current. Send it in. You could win a subscription.
I'll do the Bee after the JE is done.
Good night & good morning.
