@bocamp, thank for nice comment yesterday.BTW, John Donne was indeed a poet, but the "no man is an island. it tolls for thee" quote comes from one of his sermons. @Lewis - Your love for Chester shines through, and I'm sure Chester felt the same way about you.My take on dogs: Everyone believes that their dog is the "best dog in the whole world."

Hello, and welcome to Protocol Entertainment, your guide to the business of the gaming and media industries. I even thought the gimmick was kinda cute with the extra layer of work involved. Every good dog leaves a paw-shaped hole in your heart. Oh dear, not what I expecteds.But THEN, a fair amount later, I got the revealer, and it all fell into place. Clueing felt intentionally misleading, which can be fun if it's done well with a good aha moment, but I found many of the answers very unfun and flat (see NPR clue). Partially caught on to the theme at PROVO; thus, went back to look for TOWNs in the other themers. And I made the same mistake Rex did about thinking it was going to be about colors because of 17A and the beginning of 21A.Figured out the embedded cities but didn't go back to the clues to suss out what RED, BUT, CHEST, HOLES, and LONE had to do with the cities.To me, though, everything was redeemed by the clue for 69A. Rex's commentary makes no sense to me. Be patient. I hopped around getting a foothold here and there, but the informal clues made me hesitant to commit. @Lewis is the man. I saw it and was delighted. Okay, no worries. When reading PROVOLONE left to right as normal, you have to skip the PROVO to find the answer. Then I saw MESA and realized HOME was in the wrong state and order was restored.

Thanks @Lewis, you bring me a little joy every day and today you doubled it! look like perfectly feasible poet/sprinter combos to me. Some flashy Thursday chicanery from @Lewis. It's Thursday. I thought that they were garbage. @BlueStater -- While I did not like this particular puzzles, Thursday are pretty much supposed to be gimmick puzzles. Wow, I thought upon not seeing it, even Lewis didnt have a kind word for this puzzle. Coming after BUTTE, I was hoping that subsequent theme answers would follow the city in the answer before, but nope. Actually enjoyed the puzzle thoroughly.

I caught on, I thought, after the BUTTE and LAREDO answers--aha!, I said the answer to the clue has the abbreviated state inside it, which worked until PROVO, but by then I had filled in SKIPTOWN, so decided that you just left out the town's name and read the rest of the letters to arrive at the answer suggested by the clue, and that's enough words for that sentence.The cluing was a little sideways but I like that.
