Possible Title: “This is the end…”

Theme: Last word of phase means “end”

Good Ones:
Ran into on the road {and theme}   REARENDED [“end” in the rear of the phrase]
Affluent couple?   EFS

By the Way:
Lots of foreign expressions today:  AD HOC; ADIEUS; ADONAI; AGA; ID EST; TRE; ALLA breve

Some Nits to Pick:
Inside scoop   SCUTTLEBUTT [the term means rumor, so to the degree rumor is inside scoop, this clue is accurate --- but too often rumor does not come from the inside, so I’d clue it “Rumor”]

RATING:  ;D ;D Three grins = Loved it; Two grins = Enjoyed it; One grin = A bit bland for my taste; One teardrop = Not much fun
