    "Snakes born from Medusa's blood" - So I guess she never had any issues with hair loss?
    Not a complaint by any means, but I spent like half my solve time trying to fix up the SW and/or look for a mistake elsewhere. I didn't know HUERTA and EIDI, and LOVE made sense at 64A (the other meaning of IDIG, you know). Plus ONIT could've been INIT for all I knew, and it just so happens that DILI is also a city on an island, except I really should've realized that HILO was a lot more likely.
