Cryptoquote Spoiler – 08/10/16

“In painting you have unlimited power.  You have the ability to move mountains.  You can bend rivers.”    —   Bob Ross

(Yes.  It’s called artistic license.  Artists have the ability to create their own reality.  This is our first Bob Ross quote, since I’ve been posting these spoilers.  I brought up Bob Ross in a Jumble spoiler a few weeks ago.  Maybe our Cryptoquote creators are following the blog!  Stranger things have happened.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Jumble Spoiler – 08/10/16

Visual Description:  One man’s trash is another woman’s treasure.

KIRHE  =  HIKER,  OBTOR  =  ROBOT,  VINIET  =  INVITE,  OGATUE  =  OUTAGE   —   Giving us:  HKRROBITETAE

Clue/Question:  He broke his wife’s favorite figurine, and now he had to – – –

Answer:  BREAK IT TO HER

(Lots of things have more sentimental value, than monetary value.  She’s probably had “Cowboy Kitty” since she was a young girl.  At least the hubby is showing the proper level of concern for her feelings.  And hopefully, it’s just a simple super glue fix!

No new clue words again today, but it looks like all the jumbles are coming up as new again.  New, or not, I had no trouble with any of them.  The answer letter layout made for a nicely cryptic jumble, but the clue/question, and the cute cartoon’s dialog, set the whole thing up for an easy solve.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
