The present foreshadowed in the past by the future.

I have a flip-type cell phone that looks amazingly like the Star Trek communicators from the '60s show. Fewer dials to turn, though.

Awesome puzzle Joe.

Thanks.

I can't actually flick open my phone, nor does it make that chik-chik-chik noise. Also, neither Uhura nor Scotty are on the other end.

And it might help if I actually had coverage within 25 miles of my house...

Wow! What a fun puzzle, Joe. I had a real hard time getting it started, but once I got going, it went smoothly.

Yup. What she said ...

Awesome puzzle! I love the picture and your description is spot on.

I got stuck a few times, but every time I eventually found a row or column where color logic forced one of the colors into a very small area. I could then place at least one of that color on the row/column, and continue moving forward through the puzzle.
