Clue/Question:  She wasn’t sure the new billboard would work, but the sales increase, which was a – – –

Answer:  GOOD SIGN

(Maybe it’s Boulder, CO!  Or Park City, Utah!  They’re both very trendy towns!  I’m a little curious as to why Jeff set this shop scene in the mountains.  He usually has his reasons.  There are no new clue words today, but three of the jumbles did come up as new.  David has definitely used “nirdg” before.  The answer letter layout is a nice jumble too.  But, the answer was fairly obvious, so what are you going to do?  I don’t know.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

“The mountain is voiceless and imperturbable; and its very loftiness and serenity sometimes make us the more lonely.”   —   Henry van Dyke

(I can’t remember when I last saw/heard the word “imperturbable”.  It was one of the reasons why today’s Cryptoquote was as challenging as it was.  It didn’t stop me though.  I think it’s the second Henry Van Dyke quote in a week also.  That, in itself, is a little unusual.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
