Clue/Question:  The cow was late for the big get-together because she hadn’t – – – 

Answer:  “HERD“ ABOUT IT

(Cute pun!  No new clue words today, but all of the jumbles came up as new.  I got the first three automatically, but I actually had to back into “admire”.  Luckily, there were enough cows in the cartoon for me to figure out they constituted a herd!  The answer letter layout was another fine jumble.  It didn’t give anything away.  It was the cartoon and the phrasing of the clue/question that clued me in.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Cryptoquote Spoiler – 06/01/16

“We cannot change the inevitable.  The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude.”   —   Charles R. Swindoll

(Don’t ask me why, but this quote just made me think of these lyrics.  “And, it’s 1, 2, 3 what are we fightin’ for?  Don’t ask me I don’t give a damn, the next stop is Vietnam.  And, it’s 5, 6, 7 open up the Pearly Gates.  Well, there ain’t no time to wonder why . . . Whoopee we’re all gonna die.”  Any old hippies out there remember this?  I must be in a strange mood.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
