“I like to think big.  If you’re going to be thinking anyway, you might as well think big.”   — Donald Trump

(Which kinda explains his comb-over!  The Donald is as The Donald does.  Nuff said, there!  I sure hope he appreciates being highlighted in my Mets colors.  I suspect he’s actually one of those front-running Yankee fans though.  Too bad, cupcake!  Yer Uncle has spoken.)   — YUR

Visual Description:  A pair of po-po arresting a pair of purloiners.

NBDAL  =  BLAND,  ACCRK  =  CRACK,  KCBELU  =  BUCKLE,  TPNTEO  =  POTENT —   Giving us:  BLDAKUEOET

Clue/Question:  What the cops did when they spotted the twin burglars.

Answer:  A DOUBLE TAKE

(Not bad.  I had no trouble with the clue words this morning, but there was nothing obvious about them.  And, the answer letters were also well scrambled.  I love the word “potent”.  I always look forward to the Jeopardy category: Potent Potables.  And one of my college roommates always queried me: Potables and comestibles? when he wanted to go to the cafeteria.  Brilliant guy.  Of course, he was baked half the time back then.  But, now he’s the Editor of the Engineering and Science Magazine at Caltech.  And, as far as I can tell, he’s still a bit of a goofball!  Hey!  How about VCU knocking off Kansas yesterday?!  I don’t think many had that happening.  And, they did it decisively!  71 to 61.  And Kentucky prevailed over UNC, 76 – 69.  So, half of this year’s Final Four are perennial powerhouses, while the other half are head scratching Cinderella stories.  And, it will come down to one powerhouse vs. one Cinderella for the championship.  I bet Barack is bemused, to say the least!  Be well, do good, my friends.)   — YUR
