“I can’t say as ever I was lost, but I was bewildered once for three days.”   —   Daniel Boone

(I can just see ol’ Dan’l, at the reins of his buckboard wagon, with the missus at his side, telling him to pull over and ask for directions!  Hey!  We aren’t lost UNTIL we ask for directions.  Up til then, we’re just exploring our options.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Visual Description:  Wait.  Hoyt once had hair???

GINAA  =  AGAIN,  UEEDX  =  EXUDE,  FRACYT  =  CRAFTY,  NIPTUD  =  PUNDIT   —   Giving us:  AANEDECTNDT

Clue/Question:  All the students at the school prom were in – – –

Answer:  “ATTEND–DANCE“

(And, doing the Funky Chicken, no less!  That’s our boy!  LOL!  Today’s Jumble was a fun little fantasy trip down memory lane.  Nice wordplay pun.  Tried and true clue words today.  One of the jumbles, “ginaa”, we have seen before.  The other three appear to be new.  The answer letter layout was another top-notch jumble.  I saw nothing obvious about it.  It took me a few looks before I got it.  The monitors checking off the student list was a big help.  And of course the quotation marks and hyphen were a big help, as well.  Great cartoon, as usual.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
