Clue/Question:  The witch didn’t need a rod and reel to catch fish because she could – – –

Answer:  CAST A SPELL

(This time I agree with Darrin!  Fishing is to be enjoyed for what it is; a relaxing communion with nature.  Usually, Darrin’s a little too sanctimonious for me.  I’d be like:  Dude!  Just enjoy the ride, brother!  You’re punching way above your weight class anyway!  Samantha was a major babe.  And, she could make magic.  Aw, how cute was it when she would wiggle her nose???

No new clue words today.  Three of the jumbles came up as new for me, but we have seen “lakao” before.  The answer letter layout made for a tasty ten letter jumble.  Looking at the final answer slots made getting the answer a snap.

Great cartoon of Darrin and Samantha, from “Bewitched”.  Looks like the Dick York – the original – version of Darrin.  That is one surprised fish outta water!  His friend below the boat also looks stunned.  I think the actresses – sisters, actually – who played Tabitha are the only living cast members of the show.  Although always attractive as a blonde, Elizabeth Montgomery was smoking as a brunette!  Another great memory from my childhood.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
