(I like it!  The “A” is kind of implied, but that’s alright.  I found all the clue words to be fairly simple, today.  Apparently, both “minnow” and “padded” are new.  The answer letter layout was just what yer Uncle Rave prays for; absolutely no help whatsoever!  And, an in depth cartoon.  I love the pillars, the $ sign door handles, and the chauffeur getting the door for his lady.  All that’s missing is some poor, malnourished wretch, working the store for minimum wage . . . and probably no benefits whatsoever.  Support your local OWS movement.  Some serious changes are needed in this country.  Most of us are in the 99 %, and that just ain’t right, my friends.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
