Cryptoquote Spoiler – 09/11/18

“Wilderness is not a luxury but a necessity of the human spirit.”   —   Edward Abbey

(Strangely, I feel we’ve seen this quote before too!  Hmm.  It took me a little thinking to come up with the words WILDERNESS and LUXURY.  They weren’t clicking for me, until I realized the author’s first name was EDWARD!  One of those days, I guess.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Jumble Spoiler – 09/11/18

Visual Description:  Close quarters.

LISAA  =  ALIAS,  NURTE  =  TUNER,  NACITT  =  INTACT,  OTTUMS  =  UTMOST   Giving us:  IASTNEINTTUOST

Clue/Question:  The campsites being smaller than expected resulted in a – – – 

Answer:  “TENTS”  SITUATION

(I think we’ve had a variation of this pun before.  Regardless, it’s a good stinky pun.  Pretty sure all the words are old favorites.  I got tripped up on “alias”.  I tried to make asail with one L again!  When I realized I was missing an “I” I went back and saw my mistake.  All the jumbles appear to be new.  I’m getting more used to this Mac!

The answer letter layout was a great jumble.  Nothing obvious about it.

Cartoon looked fine.  That’s it.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
