“One is loved because one is loved.  No reason is needed for loving.”   —   Paulo Coelho

(Ah!  A line from “The Alchemist”.  Partly true, I suppose.  But, usually there is some reason.  It’s not always easy to put your finger on it though.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Jumble Spoiler – 04/23/20

 

Visual Description:  One peeved pony.

LTESY  =  STYLE,  WOLRP  =  PROWL,  RMSEMU  =  SUMMER,  NLOYFD  =  FONDLY   —   Giving us:  STEPROUMMFON

Clue/Question:  The horse didn’t love the idea of being urged to speed up at the  – – –

Answer:  SPUR OF THE MOMENT

(And, who could blame them?  Jockeys don’t wear spurs, and they certainly get their horses to go faster.  A lot of jockeys don’t even like to go to the whip, because they know the horse doesn’t like it.  But, of course, when the spurs are used properly the horses aren’t hurt.  Cowboys know what they’re doing.  Good stinky pun.

Not a new clue word to be found!  Ralis95 might have to take up a new hobby.  Three of the jumbles appear to be new, but we’ve definitely seen “nloyfd” sometime before.  No stumpers today, for me.  The answer letter layout was an impressive twelve letter jumble.  If you’d never seen a Western, in your entire life, you might’ve had a little trouble getting the final answer.  But, this final answer came to me instantly.

Fine horsey cowboy cartoon.  Looks like it could be the Ponderosa Ranch.  The rider doesn’t look much like Ben, Adam, Hoss, or Little Joe though.  Anybody up for a little “Bonanza”?  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
