Answer:  “TWO“ LATE

(Yes.  A real groaner of a pun!  None of the clue words were new today, but a great job on the jumbling.  The jumblings of “weave”, “butter” and “valet” appear to be new.  The answer letter layout was nicely jumbled as well.  I used to love airports and flying.  From the time when I was a little tyke, to just recently.  Now, with all the TSA nonsense, the self-service, the reduced service, high fares, cramped seats, and nickel and diming . . . it’s just lost all of it’s allure.  We need to revive the American rail system!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

“Every word that is unnecessary only pours over the side of a brimming mind.”   —   Cicero

(Aah . . . what a waste!  But then again, maybe all the superfluousness is like spilt milk.  At least the dog gets a little treat!  Have you noticed that a lot of the recent quotes have dealt with conciseness and simplicity?  Hmm.  You guys will let me know if I’m being a little too prolific, won’t you?  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
