“What the people want is very simple.  They want an America as good as its promise.”   —   Barbara Jordan

(Barbara was so eloquent in her simplicity.  When she spoke she was transfixing.  She had the potential to be the first woman President of the United States, but MS and Leukemia robbed her of so much of her life.  Oh, well.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Jumble Spoiler – 08/09/19

Visual Description:  The room above the shop.

HMEAS  =  SHAME,  TYEPT  =  PETTY,  CNOOHH  =  HONCHO,  MARLOC  =  CLAMOR   —   Giving us:  SHEETTHOOCLMO

Clue/Question:  The fashion boutique below her apartment was – – –

Answer:  “CLOTHES“ TO HOME

(A nice homophonic stinky pun.  Maybe not exact, but clothes enough!  The concept is a little silly though.  It would be like my daughter living over a chocolate shop.  Or, me living over a craft brewery!

No new clue words today.  Two of the jumbles appear to be new, but we’ve definitely seen “tyept” and “cnoohh”  before.  It took me a number of looks to see “clamor”.  Tough word!  The answer letter layout was an impressive thirteen letter jumble.  The quotation marks and the lengths of the word spaces were te big clues for me.

Nice little urban shop scene.  I think S.A.K. is a little send up to Jeff’s daughter, Sydney.  She’s studying to design clothes.  Good dad!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
