Visual Description:  It’s like a scene from an episode of SpongeBob SquarePants!

MATDI  =  ADMIT,  CHALT  =  LATCH,  VEYURS  =  SURVEY,  YADSEW  =  SWAYED   —   Giving us:  DMILAHRVEAYE

Clue/Question:  The octopus made such a good security guard because he was always this.

Answer:  HEAVILY ARMED

(Cute!  I solved all the clue words and wrote out the answer letters, then I let my daughter guess the answer.  It didn’t take her very long.  She’s pretty good at the Jumble.  She just doesn’t do it every day, like her old man does!  I had no trouble with the first three clue words.  I even thought that the jumble for “survey” was a little too obvious.  But, I did have some trouble in getting “swayed”.  I’ve never been a fan of verbs ending in “ed” as clue words, so I guess my bias was at work.  As it turns out, “swayed” is new as a clue word, so ralis95 has some updating to do to his clue word database.  I thought that the answer letter layout was very good, today.  The cartoon is great.  Lots of fun characters.  Great way to end the work week.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

“The illusion that times that were are better than times that are has probably pervaded all ages.”   —   Horace Greeley

 

(Sure, we all bitch about how bad things are, compared to earlier times in our lives.  That’s just human nature.  But, if simpler and more innocent can equate to better, then on an individual basis, for most, I think that it’s no illusion that times that were are better than times that are.  I guess it’s all relative, and a matter of perspective.  Be well, do good . . . and try to make the best of what life is giving you, today.  Because tomorrow is really going to suck!)   —   YUR  😉
