(Whew!  That one is ripe!  That even made me groan a little.  I really liked today’s answer letter layout.  It was a great jumble in itself, and I don’t think it gave anything away.  The clue words were all tried and true, but the jumblings of “thief”, “image” and “iconic” were all new.  The cartoon is a lot of fun, and does a great job of setting up the answer.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

PS.  A few weeks ago I stumbled upon a competitor of sorts.  There is someone out there, a woman . . . from Long Island I believe, who posts Jumble spoilers.  I wish I had written down the url or the blog name, but I didn’t, and now I can’t find it via Google search.  Sorry.  I just wanted you guys to know that you do have options, and you don’t have to follow or visit my blog, just to get the advanced answers to the daily Jumble.  A number of people have expressed their displeasure with my opining, and you should know that there is an alternative.  If anybody can find that site for me I’d be more than happy to post it here, for those who feel they don’t have a choice.   —   YUR

“When we see a natural style, we are astonished and charmed; for we expected to see an author, and we find a person.”   —   Blaise Pascal

(I guess you’d have to say this applies to bloggers, as well.  We are authors, of a sort.  But basically, we are just people, processing all that we see and experience, and trying to relate that back out to the world.  Some will get it and appreciate it, for others it just won’t add up.  C’ést la vie!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
