Unreadable

The flip page version is unreadable. The tiny font gets blurry at what would maybe be a readable size.

I’ll pay attention

Thank you for the article (“San Diego car vandals – getting bolder?”, Neighborhood News, Nov. 11, 2024). We’ve had periodic vandalism of our vehicles. It never occurred to us that it could be someone trying to force us to sell my older vehicle.

With the article, I recalled being asked if I was interested in selling my vehicle, then what would it take for me to sell it. I chalked it up to idle conversation. Next time I’ll pay attention to who is asking.

Hello, Reader friends

Long-time reader, occasional letter-writer, faithful puzzler. Could you do us a favor and start including the “title” of the crossword puzzles? I actually had no idea the puzzles even had a title until recently, when I went to a site where the puzzles are reviewed. (I go there just to read commentary or if I can’t figure out the theme.)

A recent puzzle had the theme “That’s Unreal.” But that wasn’t shown in the paper and the theme didn’t make any sense without knowing that. The puzzle had common phrases where the letters “AI” were added to make wacky fun answers. (“AI” being “Unreal.”) My brother and I do the puzzles weekly and neither of us had any idea what was going on.

It would definitely make for a more satisfying puzzle experience to see the title along with the puzzle each week.

Our previous crossword creator told me that the puzzle titles were to be discovered in the process of completing the puzzle. I was under the impression that this was the case for the “Jonesin’ Crosswords” puzzles. Upon asking this week, Matt told me that the titles are to be included with each puzzle when printed. My apologies, and the puzzles will run as such moving forward.

Good ol’ literary skill

Reading Georgianne Hotchkiss’s second submission, (“The Encanto girl who wouldn’t give up writing”, Cover Stories, Nov. 6, 2024) was another dip in the pool of good ol’ literary skill. At the risk of sounding boorishly pedantic, she brought to page hues of Lillian Hellman and Carson McCullers. Good stuff, Reader. Thank you.
