Clue/Question:  The pony that was getting over a bad cold was a – – –

Answer:  LITTLE “HORSE“

(Thank you, Captain Obvious!  They used the same gag with one of their commercials where he brought his miniature horse into a ski lodge.  Hopefully, that actor is a Jumble fan.  It would be a shame if he wasn’t.

All familiar old clue words again today.  But, all of their jumbles came up as new.  I would probably never use the compound word “uphill”, or downhill for that matter.  Lazy asses!  They were all pretty easy to solve today.  David’s answer letter layout was a nice 11-letter jumble, but it couldn’t hide the fairly obvious answer.

Great barnyard scene, Jeff!  I always get a kick out of his talking animals.  They always remind me a little of “Mr. Ed”.  They use a brief clip of the classic television comedy in the movie “The Shape of Water”.  Carol and I just watched that on HBO, on Saturday night.  I enjoyed it.  I was screaming at the television for about half of the movie.  There are a number of scenes that just make you want to scream.  Stupid characters, or more fairly characters doing stupid things, just rile me up sometimes.  If you’ve seen the movie you probably know what scenes I’m talking about.  But, this was a fun, no-brainer of a Jumble.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
