Waging WAR on Ignorance, Intolerance & Injustice!
“At the timberline where the storms strike with the most fury, the sturdiest trees are found.” — Anonymous
(Even with all the THEs, and other E’s, this one took some time to solve. Neither “timberline”, nor “sturdiest”, come up in quotes very often. It’s been quite a while since we’ve had an Anonymous too. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

“It’s easy to make a friend. What’s hard to make is a stranger.” — Anonymous
(Yup! Once you know someone, you know them, and they’re no longer strangers. Unless – God forbid – you have some form of dementia. Then you can meet the same person over and over again. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

“The trouble with using experience as a guide is that the final exam often comes first and then the lesson.” — Anonymous
(It’s like the old conundrum of trying to get that first job, where all they seem to want is “experience”. You have to gauge whether someone seems intelligent enough, and trainable enough, to handle the work, and then help them learn the ropes. On the job training is a great way to learn. Less preconceived notions, and you can get them to do the job the way you want. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

“The ones who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do.” — Anonymous
(For better, or for worse! This was a nice easy solve. Not like today’s Jumble! I have to get back to that. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

“Some people have nothing to say, but you have to listen a long time to find out.” — Anonymous
(Yep. Some people just seem to have diarrhea of the mouth. They’re enamored with the sound of their own voice, and they seem to think that they’re so interesting. Yeesh. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

(Hey. “All the world is a stage!” And, “the things we do for love!” Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

“St. Patrick was a gentleman, who through strategy and stealth, drove all the snakes from Ireland. Here’s to his health.” — Anonymous
(An appropriate little rhyme. But, a little silly . . . drinking to the health of someone who died 1500 years ago! LOL! We’re all supposed to be Irish today, so Happy St. Patrick’s Day to one and all. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR
“A folksinger is someone who sings through his nose by ear.” — Anonymous
(I think this Anonymous must be a Country/Western fan, trying to deflect some criticism! Because, with the rare exception of Bob Dylan, Country/Western singers are – generally speaking – much more nasal than folksingers. It took some time for me to even figure out the word “folksinger”, because it doesn’t seem to fit the opinion. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

“I’ve had enough of gardening – I’m just about ready to throw in the trowel.” — Anonymous
(An anonymous pun? How fun! Maybe the guys over at the Jumble will pick up on this. It would make a great puzzle for them. be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

“Tomato ketchup. If you do not shake the bottle none’ll come and then a lot’ll.” — Anonymous
(Very cute! I like a little silly change of pace, from time to time! Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR
