Cryptoquote Spoiler – 07/31/18

“What is it that disappears when you make a U-turn?  A parking space.”   —   Source Unknown

(This is part of the driving branch of Murphy’s Law!  It’s a good thing, for me, that civilization has brought us to where we are, because my predatory skills are sorely lacking.  Even though the women were supposed to be the gatherers, while the men were the hunters, I’m ALWAYS losing a parking spot to some sneaky woman!  I just don’t have those instincts.  I almost always end up parking in the hinterlands, and have to trek in from the boonies.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Jumble Spoiler – 07/31/18

Visual Description:  Why some team owners suck!

IGIRD  =  RIGID,  RHHAS  =  HARSH,  EOSLON  =  LOOSEN,  TOSYTP  =  SPOTTY   —   Giving us:  RIIHSHLSESOT

Clue/Question:  The baseball team was moving and the jersey seller was about to – – –

Answer:  LOSE HIS SHIRT

(ALL OF THEM!  Don’t worry.  I won’t go into a long winded rant on this subject.  But, you know I could.  Good stinky pun, based on a popular old saw.

No new clue words today.  But, all of the jumbles came up as new.  None of them gave me any trouble.  The answer letter layout was the best jumble of the day.  A very cryptic, 12-letter jumble!  Not obvious at all.

Fine cartoon.  You can see the stadium across the street from the store.  Fortunately this doesn’t happen all that often, but it happens more than it should.  The team owner is going to make money regardless.  But, all the small businesses, that came about because of the team, are the ones that suffer.  But, the Pegulas are good owners.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
