“As sure as the Spring will follow the Winter, prosperity and economic growth will follow recession.”   —   Bo Bennett

(But, conversely, the opposite is also true.  Growth can only be sustained for so long.  So many things in life are cyclical.  Be well and do good, friends.  Happy Birthday to my bouncing “baby” boy!  He just turned 28.  The prime of his life!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

(A great forward thinking pun!  I just read about a new kind of wind turbine that is safer for birds.  A real win-win.  There were no new clue words today, but all of the jumbles seem to be new.  Friendly letter groupings in the clue words!  Makes it a little easier for yer ol’ uncle.  The answer letter layout is fan-tastic!  I thought it was very nicely cryptic.  Love the cartoon.  Very environmentally conscious.  Renewables are the way to go!  Be well . . . be green, and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
