Cryptoquote Spoiler – 12/07/17

“Delicious Autumn!  My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns.”   —   George Eliot

(Good ol’ George!  Not exactly fair of face.  Oh, is this a form of body shaming???  And, what if it is?  Get over it!  Anybody who loves Autumn – like me – is alright in my book.  But hey, she was actually a Monday’s child!  So anyway, I love her quote.  But, I’m not sure that it would be possible to seek successive autumns, by flying about the world.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Jumble Spoiler – 12/07/17

Visual Description:  Cardio angst.

BAOMM  =  MAMBO,  DUYDB  =  BUDDY,  TARILU  =  RITUAL,  SLENUS  =  UNLESS   —   Giving us:  AMDDRILLE

Clue/Question:  They didn’t like running at the health club.  To them, the machine was a – – –

Answer:  “DREAD–MILL“

(Aah!  A great stinky pun!  I love a good play on words.  Don’t you?  All of today’s clue words are old favorites, yet all of the jumbles came up as new.  I waffled a bit on “mambo”, because I considered the snake, the mamba, but I was spelling it momba.  But, then I remembered that Hoyt does his utmost best to come up with jumbles/words that can only be spelled one way.  I thought the answer letter layout was a nicely challenging jumble too.  You had to use the quotation marks, the cartoon’s dialog, and the ladies’ faces to come up with the answer.  I think once you get into these cardio exercises, you actually start to look forward to them.  It’s more the initial anxiety you have to get over.  Because of my knees, I prefer the eliptical.  This reminds me that I have to get my fat butt to the gym.  It’s been too long.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
