Whos, really hard set today:

61. I plead insanity. Our country had just elected a mob-affiliated career criminal owned by Vladimir Putin to become President that year, and I was out of my mind. But I do remember being so excited that we could see it where I live, and we had the glasses, and did see it. Maybe OG will get this, since she lives in Oregon.

62. Get Smart

63. cartel perhaps

64. Kool-Aid is all I can come up with

65. morphine maybe

66. dorsal

67. eyeglasses

68. Sing-Sing

69. 3 - yay entomology questions

70. Netherlands (formerly Dutch Virgin Islands?)
