Cryptoquote Spoiler – 11/02/19

“Freedom from effort in the present merely means that there has been effort stored up in the past.”   —   Theodore Roosevelt

(#26 was one of our more rough and tumble Presidents.  But, he was also a champion of conservationism.  He was a war hero and a populist.  He’s one of the few Republican Presidents that Democrats can look up to, while many of today’s Republicans try to distance themselves from.  Funny world we live in.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Clue/Question:  Traveling to Santiago in June, July and August can include – – – 

Answer:  “CHILE“ WEATHER

(But, if it’s Chile today . . . it could be hot tamale!  That’s a very old, bad joke known as a Mexican weather report.  And, in today’s day and age it’s probably considered *politically incorrect*.  But, guess what?  I don’t give a horse’s patootie!  This whole “correctness” thing has been taken a bit too far, and there is a definite bias to it anyway.

All of today’s clue words are familiar old favorites.  All of the jumbles did come up as new, but I doubt that any one struggled to unscramble any of them.  The answer letter layout was an imposing twelve letter jumble, but the solve was still pretty simple.

Nice cartoon of some tourists in a Chilean marketplace.  A number of years ago, one of my stepsons dated a Chilean girl for a number of years.  She was gorgeous and vivacious.   And, she had a cousin who was even more drop-dead gorgeous.  Okay.  Can any eagle eye out there tell me what I snuck into today’s spoiler?  First one earns the coveted Uncle Rave “Attaboy/girl” award!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
