        Very nice puzzle. I particularly liked the 3x8 stacks in the NE and SW. Only part that I felt could be stronger was the south block. I think that you could have done better with, say, SCOTTIE and HEARSE/HEARST/HEARTS/HEARME instead of SCOTIAN and HEADTO, but maybe that's just my taste in entries. That nit notwithstanding, a really nice piece of work.

          Dang, I'm revisiting the south block now and thinking "why did I not use better fill here?!" haha, thank you for the idea! I think at this point I'm not gonna take it down and enhance it, especially since it was in the weekly email, but this serves as a great reminder to revisit all the blocks at the end and think "is there anything here I can improve"
