Clue/Question:  What the groomer lost on his wedding day.

Answer:  TWO LETTERS

(I had no problem with the clue words, today.  But, I really liked the way the answer letters played out.  Not obvious, at all!  And, I love the play on words.  If you’re still stumped, what do you get when you drop the last two letters from groomer?  Zemantia isn’t cooperating  very well today.  It’s giving me mainly pictures of snow grooming machines.  So, I’m giving you this strange political cartoon that they came up with.)   — YUR

PS.  Took Boone to the pet cremation place this morning.  We should be getting him back by Tuesday, at the latest.  He’ll be getting a nice wooden box for his ashes!

“A good idea plus capable men cannot fail; it is better than money in the bank.”   — John Berry

(One of the early British settlers of New Jersey!  An English Naval officer, he was given land that today is better known as Bergen County.  And, if you’re familiar with the Meadowlands area, and Route 3, a tributary of the Hackensack River is named Berrys Creek.  I was the fifth car in a six car fender bender on the bridge that crosses Berrys Creek, way back when.  Sir John Berry.)   — YUR
