(Ooh!  That’s a good stinky pun!  Truth be told, I prefer my hotdogs grilled.  They’re one of the few meats I like well-done!  There were no new clue words today, but all of the jumbles came up as new for me.  The answer letter layout was pretty nifty.  Nothing given away.  Fun cartoon.  I hate how too many in society insist that certain things HAVE TO go together.  They don’t!  You don’t HAVE TO put mustard on your hotdog.  Do, and eat, what you like.  Ketchup, onions, hot sauce, chili, even mayo – ugh – are all acceptable alternatives.  Or, you can just eat them naked.  The dog, I mean.  Try to keep your clothes on while eating!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

“The wonder of a single snowflake outweighs the wisdom of a million meteorologists.”   —   Francis Bacon

(Take that, Lonnie Quinn!  LOL!!!  This wasn’t an easy solve, people.  I suspected the FGS was THE, but couldn’t commit to it until I figured out the author’s first name was most likely Francis.  Not that one really has anything to do with the other, but it helped me confirm that the H was the A and the V was the I.  “Francis” helped me figure out SINGLE too.  Before that, for a little while I was thinking MILLION might be FOLLOWS, but I knew the U couldn’t be the W, and the C was unlikely to be F.  But, METEOROLOGIST was the last word I was thinking of, until things started coming together.  Even with THE and A, I thought this was a challenging puzzle.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
