Answer:  FAIL–SAFE

(Alright.  Not bad.  There were no new clue words today, but three of the jumbles were.  We’ve definitely seen the one for “afraid” before.  The answer letter layout was exceptional, especially for the size of the answer.  Fun cartoon.  I like how the dog is mirroring his owners’ expressions.  I’m betting it was an inside job!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

“Doing business without advertising is like winking at a girl in the dark:  you know what you are doing, but nobody else does.”   —   Steuart Henderson Britt

(No.  There is not a typo in the author’s first name!  That is the actual spelling.  His parents couldn’t agree upon Stuart or Stewart, so they compromised on Steuart!  I don’t know!  Maybe Stuart is English, the other is Scottish, and Steuart is . . . uhh, Welsh???  And, I thought only today’s idiots made a point of coming up with their own “unique” name spellings.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
