“Instead of looking at the past, I put myself ahead twenty years and try to look at what I need to do now in order to get there then.”   —   Diana Ross

(I’m guessing that that has worked for the Supreme One!  Our first quote from her, as far as I can tell.  I don’t live in the past, but I also don’t plan for the future all that well.  I, more or less, live in the moment, and hope for the best.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Clue/Question:  The reindeer ate the growth on the tree bark and were – – –

Answer:  “LICHEN“ IT

(I’m LIKIN’ IT, aka:  LIKING IT, myself!  It’s a great pun!  I’m not really a big fan of lichen though, but I know it’s a necessary part of nature.  I can’t imagine it tastes all that great though.  Ugh!  There were no new clue words today, although they are all words we haven’t seen in a while.  All of the jumbles came up as new though.  Great answer letter layout.  Fun cartoon.  I guess deer do eat this stuff, although I can’t believe this stuff is their first choice.  The deer around me eat just about everything else though.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
