Broke streak 4 days ago, and then failed hard again 3 days ago. But today was a good day! Connections Puzzle #745 🟪🟪🟪🟪 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟨🟨🟨🟨 Fell hard into the rainbow red herring, then worked our way out; blue and green were similarly difficult, so no shade. #connections

Last minute research for the downballot candiates, I got to Qns judicial race between Eve Cho and Julie Milner. Eve Cho is clearly the favorite. Milner...couldn't find much (bar: "not approved"), so...website. Blog complains: a guide calls one of her 3 endorsements "anti-vax" (it is)...K, thanks?

Connections Puzzle #740 🟦🟨🟪🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟪🟪🟪🟪 🟦🟦🟦🟦 Too many theories so had to test. We -knew- our first guess was either the answer or the rainbow, so when it came up as not 1-away we could use the fact that it was the rainbow to help figure out the rest. Got blue only when it was alone. #connections

Connections Puzzle #735 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟪🟪🟪🟪 Was NOT happy with the puzzle this time; purple was leftovers and wasn't sure on some of the other categories. #connections

Connections Puzzle #733 🟦🟨🟪🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟪🟪🟪🟪 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟨🟨🟨🟨 We had a "complete solve but the last bits aren't coming together", so no a real surprise that our first guess was the rainbow red herring. Recovery was fun, though.

Connections Puzzle #732 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟪🟪🟪🟪 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟨🟨🟨🟨 I'm gonna hold to my guns and call this as a "real RR" because blue was categorically a harder type of solve than purple (and yes, we also solved it first).

Connections Puzzle #728 🟪🟪🟪🟪 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟨🟨🟨🟨 Actual solve order: YPBG. Our green explaination was slightly off from Wyna's, but close enough. Our -7th- RR. Also streak day #36. #connections
