Answer: ON THE FENCE
(Hmm! Decisions, decisions. Wrought iron always looks classier, but I remember too many movies where someone – bad guy, or good – gets impaled on a wrought iron fence! Ee-ew! What a way to go. Chain link looks a little industrial/institutional, but it gets the job done, for considerably less than wrought iron. Picket and split-rail are mainly territorial markers. They have a certain charm, but they’re not really for those concerned at all with security.
All of today’s clue words are old favorites, but all of the jumbles appear to be new. I saw them all immediately. How ’bout you guys? The answer letter layout was a decent jumble, in itself. It may have stumped some of you. But, not yer Uncle Rave. He is yer resident Idiom Savant! Jeff’s cartoon needs no de-fence from me. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR
