Answer:  FIXATED

(Now, this is a good ol’ stinky pun!  Nothing fancy, but it was fun.  We did have one new clue word today – again – in “yammer”.  I think that ralis95 will enjoy adding this to his clue word database.  All of the jumbles came up as new, for me.  The answer letter layout was cryptic enough to make getting the answer a bit of a challenge.  And, the cartoon was fun, because the characters have a little more character, and there’s a car in it with the hood up!  Good stuff.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

“People were always the limiters of happiness except for the very few that were as good as Spring itself.”   —   Ernest Hemingway

(I guess Ernest really liked the season of rebirth!  I think you can find something positive about every season, if you keep an open mind, just as easily as you can find something negative.  A lot of people are saying they don’t want to hear any complaints of it being too hot this Summer, because we’ve just come through a long, and fairly harsh, Winter.  Well, they better stay away from me.  If it’s in the 80s and dry I’m a happy camper.  But, when it’s humid, and creeping into the 90s, you will definitely hear from me.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
