Clue/Question: During the California gold rush, this land owner had a – – –
Answer: ONE–TRACK “MINE“
(Another fairly tough solve! But, there were lots of clues, I guess. The quotation marks and the hyphen in the final answer slots, and the little tracks – to nowhere – in the cartoon. I usually think of those kind of tracks going into a mine that’s already been started. But, I guess our guy does things a little differently.
I’m coming up with two new clue words today, in “runny” and “meekly”. I was very surprised to not see “runny” on the ralis95 clue word database. “Meekly” sounds a little familiar too. Three of the jumbles came up as new, but we’ve definitely seen “sokki” before. The answer letter layout was a terrific twelve letter jumble. I thought it was nicely cryptic.
I think it’s a fun cartoon. Just a little on the goofy side. Speaking of holiday cartoons . . . well, I kinda started with a reference to one . . . have you guys seen the uproar over Apple TV buying up the rights to all the Peanuts holiday specials? People are pissed! These shows have been on network television forever, and now Apple wants to charge us to watch them. The world is going to Hell in a hand basket! Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

Hi David. Again, just for your records. RUNNY- January 8th, and MEEKLY-October 26th, 2014. And I may start charging you a finders fee! 😂
The Peanuts Specials? Good grief, Charlie Brown! What else are we going to be denied this *($! §¥! year? Going to hell in a hand basket? I think we’ve got one foot in there already…😢 Hope all is well. Stay safe…and wear your mask out there…😷🙋🏻♀️
As I suspected with MEEKLY, it was a Sunday! I have no idea how ralis95 could’ve missed RUNNY! Maybe someday he will bequeath me the actual database. Currently, I receive a read only copy. Thanks for the research. I know you love it, Ange! — YUR
RUNNY? I guess it just RAN away from him! 🤦🏻♀️ It happens. Last week one got past me…C’est la vie! But the research? I wouldn’t say I love it…More like…
Hmm…right now I just can’t seem to find the WORDS! 😉 Have a good night, stay safe and dry! 💦💧💨🙋🏻♀️
Stay inside, kiddo! — YUR 🙂
