Clue/Question:  When their new air conditioner unit broke down so quickly, they – – – 

Answer:  LOST THEIR COOL

(Well, of course they did!  When anything recently purchased breaks down we all tend to get hot under the collar.  It is the sad state of our corporate world.  They don’t build anything to last anymore.  We just finally got rid of our Amana side-by-side refrigerator freezer, after 35 years of service!  It made all sorts of periodic whirring sounds over the last five years, but it kept on doing the job, until a few weeks ago.  The fridge still worked, but the freezer started crapping out.  A good cleaning of the coils gave it a slight reprieve, but she just wasn’t the same.  So, now we have a brand new Whirlpool, and we’re keeping our fingers crossed that it lasts more than a couple of years.  I sprung for the five-year extended warranty.

Today’s clue words have stood the test of time.  However, all four of the jumbles are coming up as new, for me.  Some of our younger readers may surprised to find out it’s not spelled HOLLA!  The answer letter layout was a thrilling thirteen letter jumble.  I found nothing obvious about it.  “I kept my cool, I ain’t no fool, let me tell ya what I did then.”  Can anybody give me the next line . . . and name that tune???

Great cartoon of the more than upset young couple.  This is more than a slow burn.  They appear to be boiling mad.  Even steaming mad.  But who could blame them?  “Some feel the heat and decide that they can’t go on.”  Another great tune.  One of you out there should be able to name one of these tunes.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
