TOONIN  =  NOTION,  WODRAC  =  COWARD,  GJOREG  =  JOGGER,  VOREEM  =  REMOVE,  LOBUDE  =  DOUBLE,  PTIDEP  =  TIPPED   —   Giving us:  NINCOAOGMODOBTI

Clue/Question:  The merger of the two safe companies was this.

Answer:  A GOOD COMBINATION

(Nice long answer.  Great answer letter layout.  There was a decent level of difficulty in solving today’s Jumble.  I breezed through all of the clue words, though they were all well jumbled.  I really liked the jumblings of “notion” and “coward”.  No new clue words, today.  Not sure why this merger is taking place in the ol’ west.  Does anybody know if Jeff was going for something specific?  Or, did he just feel like drawing horsies and cowboy hats??  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

(But . . . won’t that put all the “intelligence agencies” out of work???  Would it were the world was so simple.  Backroom deals, with substantial financial considerations, and dancing with the devil is the unfortunate reality of foreign and domestic policy, these days.  And, to a certain extent, is how it has always been done.  But, ya gotta like Ike!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
