Dear Spelling Bee—how was “nuncio” a word yesterday and “milt” is not an acceptable word??? Sure it’s fish sperm but it’s a valid word! Your dictionary is wild!
Occasionally I'm callous and strange.

Spelling Bee seems arbitrary and capricious

Our wings are not tired.
I do so many varieties of puzzles that I have a deal with Spelling Bee. I do 10 words and move along. I can't justify spending any more time on that one. It does not spark that much joy. Ten and done.
eta: That said, I bombed out on the Wordle today. Too many options.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Weed Street here almost never has a sign. Do you think there are frat house basements with both signs?

I took today off and am cleaning the house. It’s so humid that I am taking breaks to keep from getting sweaty as I don’t want to need another shower.
Finally got the winter clothes off the spare room floor.

Weed, CA is a few hours north. If I were them I wouldn't bother replacing signs, but I don't know their policy (it's my grandfather's birthplace and why he changed his name to Weed when he turned 18. But it does seem like it would be possible for enterprising folk in, say, Chico to get both
