      Same here, Claudia. I always laugh while solving Mikey's metas.

        I was fairly sure it was the Debot Center at the U of Wisconsin Stevens Point campus, but that turned out to be a red herring I guess
        • whimsy 🤓15:56 · 2022-05-29T04:31:34.366Z
          Yes! Either that or spending a week watching robotic vacuums at work! :)

            I thought it was New Xade, Botswana and just figured he was a very ambitious vacationer. Then I saw the title.
          • benchen71 🤓8:15 · 2022-05-29T07:05:26.264Z
            Fun one! Great cluing as usual.

                I'll take that as a compliment. 🤣🤣

                    LOL tried typing a 2-word answer. TWICE. Before I re-read the instructions. Great cluing and meta. And given my 2 failed tries, maybe I should go there too!

                      Just another week or two of polynomial functions, yeah?
                      • Mikey G constructor · 2022-05-29T21:00:28.109Z
                        I'm on vacation now, actually, but then I've got 7 weeks of summer school, which means lots of curriculum planning!
                      • Laura M 🤓11:44 · 2022-05-29T20:59:26.947Z
                        Got it after a badly-thought-out first submission :-) Nice one!
                        • Tom Wilson 🤓1:32 · 2022-05-31T21:01:52.633Z
                          Your cluing never fails to entertain - if not provoke full-tilt belly laughs - and there's always such satisfaction when I properly land. Thanks for the ride; I hope your wish comes true!
                          • Mikey G constructor · 2022-06-04T04:48:25.271Z
                            You are far too kind! Here's hoping!!

                            Hilarious -- great finish.

                              The facepalm after spending time twirling the Earth in Google Maps looking for inspiration will be felt for a while. Thanks for the fun puzzle!

                                Cute! Grid harder than the meta.

                                    Finally got it after a nudge. I was wording it every which way but the correct way.
