The idea for this puzzle came from a study of the word "beachcomber." (In coastal South Carolina, where I live, we have quite a few of those.) As it turned out, I did not use BEACHCOMB as an entry, but I submitted a "final offer" to several other phrases for the theme.
I am very excited to have this puzzle included in the Sunday New York Times!

I am a novice at crossword puzzle constructing, and my debut at "The New York Times" was September 7, 2010. This is my second puzzle to be published there, although I was honored to have another one selected as Puzzle #4 for the American Crossword Puzzle Tournament this year. For the ACPT bio, I mentioned that I was introduced to crossword constructing through a mis-shelved book in our local library. Today's puzzle was inspired by my car, which appears in one of the theme answers. My original version of this puzzle was submitted in March 2012. After having made six revisions, for which Will kindly and patiently offered suggestions, I was pleased to have this version accepted.
