(I liked today’s Jumble, a lot! Great cartoon! Great scrambled clue words! Non-obvious answer letter layout. And, a fun little pun! I don’t think anything was all that tough, but the whole thing just works! Thirty miles NW of NYC we are, more or less, experiencing the calm before the storm. We’ve had some light to moderate rain, off and on, throughout the day, but nothing big and no real wind . . . yet. We will see how this whole thing plays out, starting in the next hour or two, or three. All of you in Irene’s path, please be careful!

I thought I was polite, yet emphatic, with my reminder, Simon. If I wanted to be a real stinker about it I wouldn’t have bothered to “approve” Brad’s comment. Just as I easily could have *not approved* your comment, but I did. For the time being, it’s a free internet! If folks want to go to other sites for their spoilers that is their prerogative.

Other sites? Dang! I thought this was the only one. Ehh, I’m too lazy to look at other sites.
