Answer:  DRY SENSE OF HUMOR

(This one had a little of everything.  Some old favorite clue words, nicely jumbled.  Three brand new clue words, also nicely jumbled!  And, those three were: “freely”, “ethnic” and “savior”.  I even had to back into “ethnic”!  The answer letter layout was masterful!  And, Jeff drew one of my favorite comedians of all time, Mr. Steven Wright!  Is there really a Death Valley Comedy Festival???  Some kind of a Coachella for humorists?  I’ve never heard of it, but that doesn’t mean anything.  I like the concept.  Be Well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
