(Very nice Sunday Jumble!  Great jumbling of the clue words.  I thought that “ninety”, “geyser” and “notary” were nicely challenging.  And, I always have a little trouble getting “ninety”.  I didn’t need to back into any of the words, but they weren’t a cinch!  It’s looking like both “firmly” and “notary” are going to be new additions to the ralis95 clue word database.  I thought the answer letter layout gave nothing away.  Don’t know if alpha order would have helped, because that’s not my thing.  Nor is all the consonants then all the vowels, or vice versa.  Just write ’em as I see ’em!  Great cartoon!  Take care, friends.  Be well and do good.)   —   YUR

PS.  Did you guys know that there are cold water geysers out there?  I didn’t, until fairly recently.  Learned it on a travel blog.   —   YUR
