“O imitators, a servile race, how often have your attacks roused my bile and often my laughter.” — Horace
(Wow! It took me quite a while to get past the fact that the “D” and the “E” weren’t necessarily the A and the I, or vice versa. I had to remember that poets love to exclaim “O”. Which makes me wonder, is there a real difference between “O” and Oh”? I know I never use “O”, but then again . . . I ain’t no poet! Initially, I guessed wrong on “E” and made it the I. But after toying with the “D” as O, I began to see OFTEN, which helped me realize that the “H” was the T, which helped me see ATTACKS. So, I changed the I’s to A’s. But even after all of that, it took me some time to decode the other words. This was the first time in a very, very long time that I wrote down the T’s so early. I usually write them down second to last, just before writing in the E’s. At least I was able to save the E’s for last! Hardest one, for me, in quite some time! Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

Happy birthday to Stevie Benton of Drowning Pool! (I’m not a big heavy metal fan, but there are some songs that I do like, and this is one of them. Hard Rock for a hard Cryptoquote!)
