Clue/Question: The eyeglasses prescription was out-of-date and needed a – – –
Answer: REVISION
(An eye-opening stinky pun! How about this one: same, better, or worse? This reminds me, I am way overdue for an eye exam and new glasses. I’ve had the same glasses for about three years. I’ve been near-sighted since I was 12 years old, and it got progressively worse over the years. I think it has stabilized . . . finally. But like most . . . ahem . . . senior citizens, I’ve also become far-sighted. So, I wear trifocals. Progressive lenses. But because I’m SO near-sighted the reading portion doesn’t really help all that much. Most print that I read is still so small! I guess I sat too close to the television when I was a kid. Oh well, they say hindsight is 20/20!
All retro clue words. No revision of the ralis95 clue word database needed today. One of the jumbles appear to be new, but we’ve definitely seen “raalv”, “cnhip” and “reteso” in previous Jumbles. I didn’t have to struggle with any of them. The answer letter layout was an easy eight letter jumble. It was fairly cryptic, but the final answer was as plain as the nose on my face.
Great Jumble cartoon of the older gentleman at the optometrist’s – maybe ophthalmologist’s – office. I really liked the eye chart on the wall! It’s a clever anagram of JUMBLE PUZZLE! Not a terribly difficult Jumble, but a fun one. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

Happy Friday friends! Big Congrats to the Buffalo Bills for defeating the hated Beli-cheat Patsies! With a more-than-pedestrian X for XX Thirsty Thursday, my hero – Josh Allen – passed a cool .XXX yesterday. Roger Staubach would tip his cap from the grave if he only he were dead, because he’s still alive and kicking.
Let’s end this work week on a civil rights note, shall we? Anything asunder .XXX would make Smitty a bad composer.
Have a splendid day,
As Ted Williams aka The Splendid Splinter would say.
My best,

I love football. And Tom Brady specifically. What a QB he was for the Bill let Patriots! Go USA! 🇺🇸🇺🇸

Didn’t figure you for backing a cheater, Smitty. Oh well, considering where you live, I guess you can’t help yourself. — YUR
Yes. New England is used to winning. Along with the Rec Sox, the Bruins and Celtics are keeping up with the winning tradition this year.

Well, at 6-6 I’m not really sure you can say the Patsies are actually winning, Smitty! — YUR
Nor a great year for sure. But 6 Super Bowl victories in the last 20 years has never been done before. Most likely ever again. One of those unbreakable records. Like Cy Young’s victory total.

Usually, when someone has been caught cheating, it means that they likely cheated on a number of other occasions, but just weren’t caught. Spy-gate and Deflate-gate were just two instances that saw the light of day. Any team that operates with the Richard Nixon mindset deserves to have an asterisk next to their record.
