Strands today - I've got 5 of 9 words including the spangram, and I still don't get the theme.

I hate when that happens. Good morning, Bret.

Okay, now I get it, but it's pretty lamely executed.

I haven't looked at it yet, but from the discussion, I'm assuming one word from the Spangram is associated directly with a word from the opposite side. That has tripped me up in the past.

You'd think they'd have some sort of plan in place to deal with stuff like this, since it seems to happen now every couple of years.

I have a friend who lives in GA. Several years ago they had a bad ice storm and he was stranded on the side of a road for nearly a day. So clearly this plan was developed recently. 😆
