Clue/Question:  The clairvoyant doctor had a – – –

Answer:  “SICK” SENSE

(I really like this Jumble pun!  Mediums and clairvoyants are said to have – supposedly – a sixth sense, or ESP.  And – on planet Rave at least – having a sick sense means a foreboding, or uneasy, feeling.  But every time I try to Google “sick sense” it keeps redirecting me to SIXTH SENSE!  I know I can be a bit of a mush mouth at times, but I’m pretty sure that “sick sense” is also a thing.  And, I’m not talking about having a sick sense of humor.  That’s something that I’ll own up to, but that’s a completely different kettle of fish.

All of today’s clue words are tried and true.  Three of the jumbles are coming up as new, for me.  However, we’ve definitely seen “smyes” before today.  I had the hardest time unwinding “dsigni”!  In my head, I kept trying to use the soft i, instead of a hard I.  I’ve really got to write these ones out when they don’t immediately come to me!  The answer letter layout was a nifty nine letter jumble.  I really needed “siding”, and its “S” and “N”, to get that final answer!  I guess I don’t have ESP!

Great cartoon of a guy seeing his non-conventional doctor.  Maybe, it’s Dr. Vinnie Boombatz!  Nah, that’s clearly Carnac the Magnificent!  Johnny Carson was probably the best late night host of all time!  And, Rodney Dangerfield was one of the best comedians of all time.  So sayeth yer Uncle Rave.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

“The most important thing is to try and inspire people so that they can be great in whatever they want to do.”   —   Kobe Bryant

(We last saw this very positive quote with the Cryptoquote of 12/10/2014.  Sadly, Kobe left us a little over two years ago, at the age of 41, after dying in that tragic helicopter crash, with his 13 year old daughter Gianna, and eight other people.  This story shocked the world, and a little more than a month later we were all caught up in the COVID-19 pandemic, which has claimed so many lives.  And, now we have this devastating war in Ukraine!  Don’t pass up the opportunity to tell your loved ones that you love them, folks.  We never know when our number might be called.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
