“Only the human mind invents categories and tries to force facts into separated pigeonholes.” — Alfred Kinsey
(There’s something very Freudian about forcing facts into separated pigeonholes! Don’t you think? This reminds me. I never rented the movie Kinsey.) — YUR

Clue/Question: The hair stylist got this after hearing the complaint about her work.
Answer: SNIPPY
(Don’t get snippy with me, Mister! Or, in this case: Sister! This felt like a re-run to me. None of the clue words are new. Maybe it’s just an updated cartoon and different clue words? It seems like we’ve had this before with a fellow at the barber. Oh well. The guys like to take it a little easier on us on Mondays. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

“Education is what survives when what you have learned has been forgotten.” — B. F. Skinner
(Great quotation! Moderately difficult cipher. Nothing ended in E, and no single letter words. With just a little playing around, I was able to see “education”. From there, everything else fell into place. Be well, do good and . . . question authority, friends.) — YUR

(Very detailed cartoon! An ornate Baroque concert hall, filled with the hoity-toity of the day, in both balcony and orchestra seats. Frilly shirts, powdered wigs, lady with a fan, sheet music, footlights with candles . . . very impressive! I thought all the clue words were challenging. I thought we had seen “bemuse” sometime in the past, but the ralis95 database says it’s new. In total there were four new words today. Surprisingly, “shrimp” is also a new addition, as are “clamor” and “revive”. For me, “uptown” was difficult. It’s not new, so I have to credit the jumbling for its difficulty. I had to write out about ten combinations before I was able to come up with “clamor”. Very worthy word, both to today’s cartoon and to the database. I’m sure the answer letter layout gave some of you fits, as it gave away nothing. I guess I’d have to say this is a . . . Classic Jumble! Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR
PS. 35 years old! That was it, for Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart! 41 symphonies, 27 piano concertos, 5 violin concertos, 4 horn concertos, 6 assorted woodwind concertos, and a few others that have been lost over time. And, too many sonatas to even count! Can you say prolific? Sure. I knew you could. — YUR
