“Worry is interest paid on trouble before it falls due.”   —   Dean W.R. Inge

(Second quote in a row about not fretting things.  Are they trying to tell us something?  Over-worrying is never healthy, but we can’t all afford to be the grasshopper.  We need to be good ants!  Peace.)   —   YUR

Jumble Spoiler – 10/25/11

Visual Description:  Eye strain on the airplane.

MMOBA  =  MAMBO,  NLGUC  =  CLUNG,  ROBUWR  =  BURROW,  SGITTH  =  TIGHTS   —   Giving us:  OLNUOITS

Clue/Question:  Her eyes had become dry and itchy, but luckily the person next to her had this.

Answer:  THE SOLUTION

(“A little bit of Monica in my life, a little bit of Erica by my side, a little bit of Rita is all I need, a little bit of Tina is what I see . . .”  Thank you, Lou Bega!  Great clue words, all nicely jumbled.  I had the most trouble coming up with “mambo”.  They don’t do this one on Dancing With The Stars!  Maybe because it’s more of a hybrid dance.  Kind of a cross between the rumba and the cha-cha.  I had no problem with “clung” or “burrow”.  And, I think even the most hard-nosed purist is going to give a pass to “tights”.  As an article of clothing that’s what they’re called!  Great answer letter layout, and a great cartoon.  Overall, a very good puzzle.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
