“One good anecdote is worth a volume of biography.”   —   William Ellery Channing

(It has a nice ring to it, although I’m not sure I completely agree with it.  A short, amusing story about a specific incident doesn’t usually tell you everything about a person’s life.  This was a fun solve though.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Clue/Question:  The developers of the new hover car were working – – –

Answer:  TIRELESSLY

(Gotta love it!  A true groan inducing, stinky pun!   We’re not quite up to automated/driverless cars yet, and we’re going to leap into hovercars???  What could possibly go wrong?  LOL!  No, the notion is fascinating, but I can’t imagine the insurance industry relishing the idea.  Not just crashing into each other, but then crashing to the ground!  Hoo-boy!

All of today’s clue words were familiar old friends.  However, all of the jumbles came up as new.  No real stumpers, for me.  The answer letter layout was a nice ten letter jumble.  It was plenty cryptic.  The cartoon’s dialog were the biggest clue.

Very cool cartoon.  Maybe Jeff should work as a designer for the automotive industry.  The developers truly look exhausted.  I’m not sure what the one thing on a stand in the background is.  Great 21st Century Jumble though.  How soon before we actually see something like this?  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
