NYC – Central Park: Vis-à-vis Carriage (Photo credit: wallyg)
(This is one of those maddening Jumbles. Dude! You’d have to be born on some other planet not to know that you don’t talk to a horse that way! It’s like those annoying – generally new – mothers who overly explain why something is “wrong” to their young toddlers. Yeesh! All they’re really hearing, especially if it’s not backed up with a stern face and tone, is blah blah blah blah blah! No matter what language you speak, short emphatic words get the point across much more effectively. Eventually, the kid will respond to reason and logic, but like with a very young child you have to keep it simple with a horse. But, I love the cartoon! I like the hansom carriage rides. I love horses. I like and respect PETA, but I often think they go a little too far. I can understand it if some of their more outrageous demands are more of a negotiations ploy, but I think, by and large, some of their stances just alienate more people than they realize.
No new clue words, today! I was thinking “moolah” might be, but no. Every clue word was jumbled well, but I didn’t have to struggle with any of them. The answer letter layout was great. Cute cartoon. Be well, do good and be reasonable . . . within reason, people.) — YUR

Whoa!!! What the heck was I thinking??? Of course it’s WHOA, and NOT WOAH! I think I’m in a bit of a fog, today. Thanks for the correction, linnymo!

MOOLAH stumped me, but eventually I got it. Cartoon was so funny, and I agree with you, YUR, that kids and animals don’t need a whole lot of blah, blah, blah. I remember from my teaching days the following example. New teachers say, “Now everybody, please settle down. We have to get this grammar lesson started, and you know how important this is in life, so let’s get started before we run out of time before the big state tests…blah, blah, blah.” We experienced teachers would shout one word! Examples: Freeze, People, Halt, Time Out, Whoa!
The lady KNOWS her stuff, people! (But, I do whisper sweet nothings to my golden, Ginger! No matter what I say, she thinks I’m brilliant!)

Ggggrrrrrr…I’ve been working on this puzzle for a couple of days — and I had moolah –and let it slip away because my little Franklin Spelling Ace said it was not a word. It has now been added to my Franklin data base. And, I saw the answer when I was checking the blog! So I’m moving on. Nice puzzle.
Oh, YUR, animals and kids do need that quiet approach, also, just not a whole lot of words. 🙂 You are so right! Maybe that’s why I like the Jumble better than crosswords. Fewer words, more meaning!
