Constructor's Note
This one's not also a giant leap though.

    Good mix of rebus clues!

      Thanks Peter! The NYT didn't like it because STEP just means STEP in most of the places where it occurs. I think WASTEPAPER was the only entry they liked. COLDSTEPPE sort of fits the bill too, but it's not quite as solid.

      Fun puzzle, Emma (I always like your full-sized ones!).

        Thanks Adam! I try to do a full-size one on the last Wednesday of every month. The rest of the weeks it's minis just because I (sadly) don't have time to construct that many full-size puzzles. (I feel like some constructors just crank them out, but I've always been kind of slow at it.)
