Jumble Spoiler – 12/21/21

THALC  =  LATCH,  WSOHE  =  WHOSE,  DUELSG  =  SLUDGE,  GANROD  =  DRAGON   —   Giving us:  LCWSSLDRAO

Clue/Question:  The college offered earth science programs that were considered to be – – –

STRATA - Definition and synonyms of strata in the English dictionary

Answer:  WORLDCLASS

(I feel like the hyphen is a bit superfluous.  Did anyone else find it superfluous?  Who concurs?  Do you concur?  I just think that superfluous is a word that Frank Abagnale Jr. might have used while he was trying to con someone into thinking he was someone he wasn’t, in “Catch Me If You Can”.  Besides the great lead actors, four of Frank’s conquest/girlfriends were played by Ellen Pompeo, Elizabeth Banks, Amy Adams, and Jennifer Garner!  Not bad for a kid that didn’t even finish high school!

All of today’s clue words are familiar old friends.  Yet, all of their jumbles have come up as brand new, from what I could see.  I didn’t think any of them were tough though.  The answer letter layout was a tasty ten letter jumble.  I thought it stacked up very nicely!

Great cartoon of a Geology class, out in the field.  And, when I say “in” I really mean IN the field!  Technically, this class may be Stratigraphy.  When I was a senior in college, trying to satisfy my Science requirement, I took a Geology class.  The professor asked me if I wanted to make Geology my major.  He thought I was a freshman!  All my life I’ve been a bit of a baby face.  I still pass for a few years younger than my age.  Good genes, no smoking, and I don’t worship the sun.  I did enjoy that Geology class though.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Plutarch - Wikipedia

Nothing is cheap that is superfluous, for what one does not need is dear at a penny.”   —   Plutarch

(I think this is an argument FOR the worthiness of art.  A lot of mouth-breathers don’t seem to see the value in art.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
