Clue/Question:  Climbing the mountain was going fine until the weather – – –

Answer:  WENT DOWNHILL

(Very good pun!  Free climbing a mountain, or escarpment, is difficult enough under optimal weather conditions.  Mix in rain, or snow, and you’re in a doubly difficult time.  Which is one of the reasons why yer ol’ uncle is a chicken crap couch potato!  Oh, I don’t mind a nice hike up a Class B trail, but dealing with hand/footholds is much more than I want to deal with.  I prefer my entire feet on the ground, and my hands free to do more important things, like scratch my butt, or pick my nose.  But, not in that order!

Hey, we had two new clue words today!  Yeah, both “longer” and “warmth” are soon to be new additions to the ralis95 clue word database.  So clearly those jumbles are new, but also the jumble for “whirl” is new.  Only the one for “dunce” has definitely been used before.  The answer letter layout was a jumble masterpiece.  It gave nothing away.  And, the cartoon was pretty special.  Great perspective, in displaying the perils of climbing.  I thought this was a great all-around Jumble.  What did you guys think?  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

(Tough) Cryptoquote Spoiler – 03/28/15

English: Actor Will Smith lights up the stage as he hosted the 2011 Walmart Shareholders Meeting. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

“Stop letting people who do so little for you control so much of your mind, feelings and emotions.”   —   Will Smith

(For some reason, it took me quite a while to get this one started.  This appears to be our first Will Smith quote, since I’ve been posting these spoilers.  It’s good advice, other than “feelings” and “emotions” being the same thing.  You can’t possibly please everybody all the time, so be judicious in who you try to please.  Worry about those who matter to you the most.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
