Cryptoquote Spoiler – 11/30/18

“Life was always a matter of waiting for the right moment to act.”   —   Paulo Coelho

(Was?  Maybe he’s referring to his youth, or some other period of his life.  No matter what age – to an extent – timing is everything.  Just try to not let those moments pass by.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Jumble Spoiler – 11/30/18

Visual Description:  Surf’s – and prices are – up, dude!

SRBAH  =  BRASH,  OBTOA  =  TABOO,  RECCAS  =  SCARCE,  DECAAF  =  FACADE   —   Giving us:  BRSHTOOSRCAADE

Clue/Question:  The prices for equipment in the surf shop were rising – – –

Answer:  ACROSS THE BOARD

(Bummer!  I blame the Haoles.  They ruin everything, kāne.  But, today’s Jumble was a great stinky pun!  The prices are literally across the boards!

All of today’s clue words are familiar old hoalohas.  No need for the big Kahuna, ralis95!  Two of the jumbles came up as new, but we’ve seen “obtoa” and “reccas” before.  I didn’t struggle with any of them today.  The answer letter layout was an impressive 14-letter jumble.  It did a fine job of hiding the final solution.

Maika‘i cartoon.  Cool surf boards.  And, a nice view out the window, of a young wahine surfing.  And, the classic sinking sailboat on the horizon is always a nice touch.  What’s not to like?  Mahalo, guys!  Be well and do good, hoalohas.  Aloha nui loa.)   —   YUR
