Cryptoquote Spoiler – 11/12/18

“Focusing your life solely on making a buck shows a certain poverty of ambition.”   —   Barack Obama

(I’m pretty sure he’s referring more to some of these wealthy fat-cats, more than those who actually struggle to make ends meet.  There is a lot in the world that could use some bettering, so those that can be philanthropic should be so.  The Scrooge-types are less likely to be remembered anyway.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Jumble Spoiler – 11/12/18

Visual Description:  The motor-coach crunch.

RVPIE  =  VIPER,  CABIS  =  BASIC,  CEDDEA  =  DECADE,  RUYTEK  =  TURKEY   —   Giving us:  EBSDTU

Clue/Question:  Yet again, Keesterman’s mailbox gets – – –

Answer:  “BUS“-TED

(Hey!  It’s the first of our Guest Jumblers!  As you all can read, today we’re being treated to Tom Batiuk and Dan Davis of “Crankshaft”.  A comic that my newspaper does not carry, but I have some familiarity with.  It looks like ol’ Ed has taken out Keesterman’s mailbox with his school bus again.  Tsk, tsk, tsk!

No new clue words today.  But, ralis95, check your email to see that there was one yesterday!  Three of the jumbles appear to be new, with “ceddea” having been used before.  The answer letter layout was a good six letter jumble.  The cartoon and the quotation marks were the big give away.

Hopefully, the school district will pay the cost of replacing Keesterman’s mailbox.  Even so, it looks like Keesterman is going to be inconvenienced for a while . . . again.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
