Clue/Question:  The laundromat that installed exercise equipment featured – – – 

Answer:  SPIN CYCLES

(Both Hip and Happenin’!  Definitely something that Henri Arnold, Bob Lee, and later Michael Argirion, would very likely not have thought of!  All of today’s clue words were old favorites.  Three of the jumbles came up as new, with “clorsl” definitely having been used before.  The answer letter layout was nicely cryptic.  Nothing obvious there.  And, a clever cartoon, featuring a clueless male in the background.  You know, I am offended by all these depictions of my fellow brethren as hopeless oafs!  This is an outrage!  This shall not stand, I say!  I say we should write all our mayors and governors, and senators and congress people, to have these highly offensive, stereotypical depictions of hapless and helpless men removed, from all over the country.  Take them down, I say, and put them in cartoon museums, if you must!  But, get them out of the public view!  And, if you disagree with me, well then, clearly you are a sexist!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
