(Don’t know what the . . . was for at the end of the clue/question!  It wasn’t a fill-in-the-blank situation.  No new clue words, today.  And, it looks like they just mailed in the jumble of “splint”.  However, the other three clue words were well jumbled.  And, the answer letter layout was grand!  It’s kind of hard to tell how many of you might have had trouble in getting this.  I thought it was pretty easy.  The regular diving is cool, but the synchronized diving is way cool! So, what do you people suppose the guys will give us – event wise – tomorrow and the rest of the week?  I vote for Women’s Beach Volleyball!  Anybody with me?  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

“Renunciation of world politics offers no protection from its consequences.”   —   Oswald Spengler

(This was true nearly a hundred years ago, and even more-so today.  Whereas once upon a time events in far off places were seemingly isolated and contained, today the ripple effects reach across the globe, in a relative blink of an eye.  If but only for selfish reasons we all need to be engaged in world events.  Saying:  It doesn’t matter to me. doesn’t make it so.  Be well, do good . . . and stay informed, friends.)   —   YUR
