Cryptoquote Spoiler – 07/06/19

“Our wrinkles are our medals of the passage of life.  They are what we have been through and who we want to be.”   —   Lauren Hutton

(Okay.  I’ll buy the “what we have been through” part, but not the “who we want to be” part.  Who wants to be like a prune?  From what I can tell, this is our first quote from Ms. Hutton at the Cryptoquote.  So, we welcome her to the Cryptoquote Club!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Clue/Question:  The new plumber was very easy to get along with and happy to – – –

Answer:  GO WITH THE FLOW

(The only time I go with the flow is when I’m caught in a rip-tide.  Actually, you have to swim parallel to the shore to escape the current.  Then swim diagonally – away from the current – back to shore.  A rip tide, also known as a rip current, is very scary, but they’re easy to survive, as long as you remain calm.  They won’t pull you under water, just further away from shore than most people can safely swim.  Weak, or inexperienced, swimmers are usually at a greater risk because they are more likely to panic.  Do your best to remain calm, and you’ll live to swim another day.

Hoyt is giving ralis95 the weekend off, as there are no new clue words today.  And, I’d be surprised to see any tomorrow.  Three of the jumbles are coming up as new, but we’ve definitely seen “gocil” before.  The answer letter layout made for a swell ten letter jumble.  Not obvious.

Fine plumbing bathroom scene cartoon.  Nothing too fancy.  It got the point across.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
