Visual Description:  Where we’ll (or at least the rich people will) get our (their) potable water from in the future, after the Keystone XL pipeline and all the hydro-fracking makes our own water undrinkable.

VETEN  =  EVENT,  THENT  =  TENTH,  KAEEUR  =  EUREKA,  PAMELI  =  IMPALE   —   Giving us:  NTTHURIAE

(I liked it!  A lot!  Great clue word jumbling.  Hoyt really outdid himself today.  I loved “eureka”.  I actually had to think a bit on “tenth”, and “impale” has always been a fan favorite.  Also, the answer letter layout was perfect!  Maybe the best I’ve ever seen.  It doesn’t even hint at the answer.  And, you can never say enough about the Jeff Knurek cartoons!  Straight out of The Jetsons today.  Did you guys notice the little “human” skull that the astronauts un-marsed?  Hilarious!  Who knows.  There might even be a little truth to it!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

“I couldn’t find the sports car of my dreams, so I built it myself.”   —   Ferdinand Porsche

English: Cisitalia race car designed by Ferdinand Porsche and never raced. Picture taken at the new Porsche factory museum. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

(I like Porsches, but they’re more about power and performance.  I’m more into style.  That’s why I like their Boxter model.  Very sleek.  Overall, I’m more of a Jaguar man.  I like the XKRs and the new F-Types, but I really liked the old XKEs.  They looked like bullets flying down the road!  They looked like horizontal rockets!  I remember an old print ad from the mid to late 70s.  It featured a cobalt blue XKE in this lush field of dark green grass.  I was already a big fan, because a big-kid neighbor of mine had one, but that ad really solidified my love affair.  If I ever win the lottery I’ll have to hunt one down.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Clue/Question:  The wrestler on the bottom was going to end up being a . . .

Answer:  SORE LOSER

(Our boy Jeff, giving some of his buddies a little free advertisement.  Nothing wrong with that.  Great pun!  The clue words were pretty simple today.  But, it looks like “father” is new!  The answer letter layout was pretty decent.  Probably could have been better.  Fine cartoon.  There’s a link to one of The Warrior Kings’ songs down below.  Be well and do good, friends. )  —   YUR

(A quote . . . from The White Rat???  That was his nickname, to National League fans who weren’t Cardinals’ fans.  Not a warm and fuzzy kind of guy.  But, he was a very good manager!  Usually – not always, but usually – beat up on my Mets.  I was glad when he finally retired.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

CNUBH  =  BUNCH,  RACTA  =  CARAT,  DEALOD  =  LOADED,  RILFAY  =  FAIRLY   —   Giving us:  BNCCATEDIL

Clue/Question:  Thanks to the fender-bender, she met her future husband . . .

Answer:  BY ACCIDENT

(Pretty easy solve, but we did have some nicely jumbled clue words.  Surprisingly, both “bunch” and “carat” are going to be new additions to the ralis95 clue word database.  The answer letter layout was just okay today.  Coulda been tougher, but like I said, the answer was pretty easy anyway.  Maybe she went to Minnesota, or Missouri, or Mississippi.  Maybe Maryland?  Massachusetts??  Hard to tell from a black and white cartoon!  Just joshing.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
