i typically do the new York times mini crossword puzzle each day. A clue was "very accurate". Answer: deadon. I'm looking at it, thinking what is a deadon. Oh, they mean Dead On. Wish the puzzles gave you that clue that it's two words in the answer, not one. Show two blanks.

Everything I’ve read says they were, so that’s what I’m going with. Even rebuilt, I don’t think you’d be getting 2500 HP out of a 12 cylinder 251 in 1980

Live from Willowbrook, Illinois.... We have contracted rates at a hotel here. Never been here before. Will try it out. Much closer to the airport than Chesterton is.
