08/24/24: I say get it over with on Day One: Go right to the sports section and bet on the teams recommended by the handicappers (!).

Not a sports guy here, so I'll do the crossword (if it's worth doing).

BTW, what are the handicappers saying about Harris-Trump? Has she reached the apogee of her bounce yet?

08/25/24: In this instance, here's the fastest road to the Point of Complete Disillusionment via the Crossword Puzzle Brainwash Viaduct:

Every single clue will be "Climate." ALL of the answers up and down and left to right will fit into six boxes: "C-H-A-N-G-E." Beware of the occasional 4-seam-sinker-slider-hula-hoop underhanded (and how!) variation pitch (all the clues are "Global" and all the answers are 7 letters: "W-A-R-M-I-N-G").

Oy vey. I'll pass, thanks.

But what about the Vegas odds on Harris-Trump? I guess I could look it up ...
