Clue/Question:  The computer programmer loved his new pillow because it was – – –

Answer:  DOWN–LOADED

(That it is!  No arguing with that.  Sure, it’s a stinky pun, but it is accurate.  Are they making down pillows again?  I thought that those were things of the past.  My mom clung to her down pillows, but by the time she passed they were awfully worn.  Very thin, and feathers would leak out regularly.

Hoyt has snuck another new clue word into today’s Jumble, in “wedded”.  I was a little surprised, but I don’t remember having seen it before.  Our old friend, ralis95, will have to update his world famous database accordingly.  All of today’s jumbles are coming up as new.  I didn’t struggle with any of them though.  The answer letter layout was a splendid ten letter jumble.  Nothing obvious about it.

Nice domestic scene of some probable millennials.  They appear to be clueless about down pillows.  Before all these various foams came along, down pillows were pretty much the norm.  They seem to eager to pay top dollar for them though!  I wonder if they have any plans to bring back the rotary dial telephones???  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

(I can’t tell if she said this tongue-in-cheek, or if this was the way she actually wrote.  Sounds pretty humorous to me.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
