Clue/Question: They were building a small lodging establishment and would soon – – –
Answer: BE “INN“ BUSINESS
(A very relevant stinky pun, of a very contemporary “side hustle”. When the wife and I went to Arizona to watch our grandson’s baseball tournament, we stayed in a VRBO property with my step-son and grandson. Because of spring training MLB, and this tournament, hotel rooms were at an unreasonable premium. A three bedroom, two bathroom house was much less than half of what it would’ve cost us to book two hotel rooms! It didn’t quite match the photos, but it was definitely good enough. It was in a safe residential neighborhood and had a nice amount of amenities. First time using this kind of accommodations for the wife and me, but the younger generations use them quite frequently.
We have definitely seen all of today’s clue words in past Jumbles. Three of the jumbles appear to be new, but I can attest to the fact that Hoyt has used “usise” in at least one previous Jumble. None of them tripped me up today! The answer letter layout was a terrific thirteen letter jumble. Sufficiently cryptic. The words “lodging establishment” in the clue/question, and the quotation marks in the final answer slots made for a quick solve, for me.
Great cartoon of a young couple dealing with their contractor, as he and his workers work on the house. I guess some folks build them new, but a lot of others just buy up older properties and renovate them. Whatever works! Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

Arizona is beautiful. Glad you had a great time Unc! I’ve only been there once, a few years ago, in a town called Sedona. Wasn’t too hot as it was in April 🔥. Lots of red rocks 🪨. Went on a hot air balloon 🎈 💨 ride. Nice place to retire! Lots of old farts 👴 playing golf ⛳️.
Speaking of old farts💨 , those geezers 👉 are slacking💤. Only 12 mumbles y’day, 6 from their bed-ridden Granny 😷 🙋🏻♀️. She really is struggling with the COVIDs🦠 as of late. Please feel better soon Ma’am! 🤒. We miss your witty banter. Tks! 🤥
Speaking of baseball tournaments, opening day is tomorrow at Fenway Park ⚾️! America’s most beloved Ballpark. I have a sneaky suspicion that the Red Sox are going to be very good this year. Not as good as the Celtics 🍀 or the Bruins 🐻, but still very good ⚾️.
Spring is here! Baseball season,

This was our first trip to Arizona too, Smitty. We were mainly in Scottsdale, but we also spent some time in Tempe/Guadalupe and Maricopa. After the tournament was over we drove up to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. It was overcast and cold as heck, but still incredibly impressive. I can now cross that off of my bucket list. Lots more places to see though.
Spring is here! Let’s Go Mets! Gotta find a way to win without the league’s best closer. Stupid World Baseball Classic! — YUR
We visited Grand Canyon on that trip as well. Impressive little gorge Unc. South rim was majestic. Stayed at Bright Angel and took a cool Pink Jeep around a few spots. 👼. Don’t get too close to the edge! It’s a long way down!!
