Way, way, way, way, way, way too easy Saturday NYT crossword:

One reinking only at 15 Across, Tourist booth handouts, which started life as
FREEBIES
then became
FREEMAPS
and finally settled into
AREAMAPS,
but that was about it. I was done in less than 6 or 7 minutes.
Very, very, very unsatisfying. I'm depending on these puzzles to create a longer diversion, particularly on Saturday.
If you see me in a bookstore looking at a giant book of Soduku, please intervene.

Added later: Oops, found a mistake --- Use leverage on should be PRY, not PLY
I don't think I even read the crossing clue Cell alternative (PAGER, not PAGEL).
