(Cute pun.  Just a little stinky.  Like the faint waft of manure on the air, as you drive through dairy country.  No new clue words today, but three of the jumbles came up as new for me.  We have definitely seen “cacoh” before.  The answer letter layout was pretty good, for a seven letter answer, that was pretty obvious to begin with.  How do you NOT like standing, talking cows???  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
