“Between stimulus and response there is a space.  In that space is our power to choose our response.”   —   Source Unknown

(Yeah . . . sort of.  This is assuming a certain level of intelligence.  And, the space is a little longer than a nanosecond!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Jumble Spoiler – 04/11/18

Visual Description:   Circa 1868, or so.

GDAAE  =  ADAGE,  WNIET  =  TWINE,  TRIUAL  =  RITUAL,  FLEGNU  =  ENGULF   —   Giving us:  ADETWERITNLF

Clue/Question:  The author showed off his typewriter’s direction – – –

Answer:  LEFT AND “WRITE“

(The ever popular period piece pun!  Excuse the alliteration.  No surprise clue words today.  They are all on the ralis95 clue word database!  All of the jumbles appear to be new though.  They all pretty much leapt off the page at me today.

The answer letter layout was the niftiest jumble!  It wasn’t super cryptic, but it wasn’t mega-obvious either.  The letters were there to make the third word TWAIN, but that would have limited the first two words significantly.  FRED LET “TWAIN”???  Doesn’t fit the clue/question very well.

The cartoon is the prize of the day.  That sure looks like a young Mark Twain, to me!  The wall sconce shows that it’s pre-electricity.  And, the stogie in the ashtray was a nice touch.  Fun Jumble.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
