THEME: Crossing at reds
GOOD ONES:
Humanitarian symbol {& theme} RED CROSS
Old Roman coin LIRA [I thought ancient Rome]
Life partner? LIMB
BTW:
"Let's hear it!" DO TELL [only if you have a tin ear --- the clue is an exclamation; the fill is an almost chortled request]
Up the creek IN TROUBLE [interesting how the language evolves: the original expresion had "...without a paddle," but no longer]
It amazes me how many uniquely clever themes constructors manage to generate; today's is one. Easily 200 a year appear in the LAT alone. As a solver of just one outlet's offerings (my local newspaper happened to run the LAT), I feel fortunate.
RATING: ;D ;D
Three grins = Loved it; Two grins = Enjoyed it; One grin = A bit bland for my taste; One teardrop = Not much fun
