Cryptoquote Spoiler – 03/09/17

“Yet many of the world’s great movements, of thought and action, have flowed from the work of a single man.”   —   Robert F. Kennedy

(What’s a guy’s marital status got to do with anything???   LOL!  JK.  I always wonder though, when a quote is attributed to a politician/statesman, are they always his/her own words, or are they sometimes/often that of their speech writers?  Bobby had a great one in Adam Walinsky.  I did not realize that Mr. Walinsky had come out in favor of Donald Trump, leading up to the election!  His primary reasoning is more a commentary/condemnation on the state of the Democratic party, and its candidate – at the time – Hillary Clinton, and it’s one that I cannot disagree with.  I could not bring myself to vote for Mr. Trump, but I also could not vote for Mrs. Clinton, for many of the reasons he cites.  I’m posting the link to the article below, for those who are interested.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Jumble Spoiler – 03/09/17

Visual Description:  Seniors at play.

TOLAT  =  TOTAL,  RHODC  =  CHORD,  PANIDU  =  UNPAID,  HESBLU  =  BUSHEL   —   Giving us:  TTCOIDBHE

Clue/Question:  It should have been an easy victory for the bocce team, but the player – – – 

Answer:  BOTCHED IT

(Is this a familiar pun among the bocce crowd?  Probably.  It definitely made for an easy solve.  No new clue words, but three of the jumbles seem to be new.  It looks like Hoyt has used “panidu” before.  The answer letter layout was another well thought out jumble.  Nothing obvious.  Cute cartoon.  Looks like the retirees are either in Florida, or perhaps Arizona.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
