(Tough) Cryptoquote Spoiler – 02/05/19

“In any given moment we have two options:  to step forward into growth or step back into safety.”   —   Abraham Maslow

(It took me some time to get this one started.  I didn’t feel confident about anything until I saw FORWARD.  But, today we welcome the world famous psychologist, Abraham Maslow, to the Cryptoquote Club.  And, it is a wonderful quote.  Settling for safety gets the world nowhere.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Jumble Spoiler – 02/05/19

Visual Description:  Top-o-the-Mount dining.

VITPO  =  PIVOT,  SUDEO  =  DOUSE,  ABREUU  =  BUREAU,  XTREEP  =  EXPERT   —   Giving us:  PVDSRUEE

Clue/Question:  They tried the mountaintop restaurant to see what type of meals were being – – –

Answer:  SERVED UP

(The acme of Jumbles?  The zenith of Jumbles?  Maybe not.  But, it’s gotta be up there.  Right?  At least from a certain perspective.  It’s like a breath of fresh air.

None of the clue words are new today.  Two of the jumbles came up as new, with “xtreep” and our old friend “sudeo” having been used some time ago.   The answer letter layout was a great 8-letter jumble.  Nothing obvious about it.

Great mountain view cartoon.   Could be Colorado.  Could be Utah.  Could be New York, Vermont, West Virginia . . . or a lot of places.  Very nice Jumble.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
