Ooh, a toughie (well, it's a Friday). Both Jean & Mike tore through 3/4 of the puzzle, like they were on SPREES, but then, well, let's just say that STOPSDEAD was an appropriate clue to lead into the ferocious bottom-right corner. Still, there was lots to LOVE about this crossword, including 13D - One of about 500 million needed to fill an olympic swimming pool (TEASPOON), and Mike's personal favorite, 17A - Trucker's tracker, aka MILEAGEMOM (eh, we mean MILEAGELOG).
26D, INAROMP was definitely a surprise, but ONAVERAGE we found this to be a fine piece of crosswordwizadry - 4.0 squares on the JAMCR scale.
