Answer: BENT OUT OF SHAPE
(But of course! There was no damage to the truck. He can afford to be calm and collected. The way the laws are written, the guy from behind bears the brunt of the blame in these kind of accidents, exigent circumstances aside. The truck dude could have intentionally stopped short, just for shit and giggles. Some guys get their kicks that way. Tough luck kid!
No new clue words today. Didn’t have a lot of trouble with unjumbling them. Especially “sailor”. It was just backwards. Great answer letter layout! Nothing given away. Cool cartoon. Kind of strange that it’s down by the shore. Maybe Jeff just had a hankerin’ for drawing the sinking sailboat. We haven’t seen one of those in a while. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

In all likelihood the sports car driver was busy looking at the sinking sail boat when he crashed!
I had a heck of a time with “poetic”. Even though I knew that it might end in “ic”. And I needed all of the words to solve the puzzle, no backing in this time.
I almost always have some trouble getting poetic! It’s just one of those words for me. — YUR
Poetic was a real stinker and junket was a close second. Have not caught on to the “ic” ending. I have to remember that when I have “c.” And I worked on the answer 2 days. It was no gimme for me!
