Constructor's Note
First time constructing in Crosshare. Nice interface. Autofill is helpful. Enjoy the puzzle.
Been making puzzles for a year or two. Just trying this site.out for feedback and such. This theme just kind of happened organically as I put words into the long spaces ....then added more short entries as I finished the puzzle.
Hope you enjoy this puzzle. Shouldn't be too hard, only a few obscure-ish full entries to clue. Let me know if there's any errors you spot, think I proof read well but you always miss something, right?
Thanks for solving
