Good Tuesday morning everyone! After the ease of yesterday’s puzzle I decided to try my hand at solving today’s without the clue letters and I’m happy to report that I was successful!!! After jotting down my answer I went back and solved the clue words to double check. DIVEST was the only tricky anagram, but I knew what letters I needed and it all fell into place in a flash. No unique details in the puzzle other than the $15/ft price of the granite. Is that a good deal? Maybe someone who’s in the biz or building a house can fill us in. All schools are closed in my area today due to “expected snow” of two to four inches. I’ve never heard of a sillier excuse but they haven’t had a snow day all year and everyone deserves a day off now and again. Enjoy your day and I’ll see you tomorrow! πβοΈβοΈ
Good morning. Another easy day. Had no trouble with either the words or cartoon answer. Starting to feel like Einstein. Now if I only could remember where I left the car keys. Stay well,tomorrow brings a new challenge.
I’m sure the end of the week will bring some tough ones. Perhaps your favorite ones with quotes. π
Divest was easy for me, but stumped on COTTON. Guess the cold is going around. Just got back from 7-day cruise and probably got it there. It’s a hanger-on and is clogging my brain. Love the puzzles and everyone’s comments. Great way to start my day, π
Feel better Stew. Despite the sniffles, I haven’t been sick in a couple of years so fingers crossed I can continue my streak! A cruise sounds really nice right about now. Where did you go and with which cruise line?
Another really easy one, waiting for the mind blower any day now — been in the 80’s here so can’t wait to see what spring will be like
Enjoy the sunshine Rita! π
Congratulations on successfully getting the answer without the words & letters. It was a fast solve for me, too. Going straight down the words, I wrote DIVEST, but did not set it in stone in my mind until I got the answer and saw that the letters worked out.
Is all of New England still on cloud nine? Congratulations again on the win. Enjoy your snow day, and have a terrific Tuesday.
The parade was in Boston this morning and I caught glimpses of it on the news. Looks like everyone was having a blast with some snow mixed in for authenticity! Can’t wait for tomorrow’s puzzle. π
What does a putative snow day have to do w/ Jumble answers???? Why not solve the puzzle and skip the quasi-editorial, homespun observations? All I need is the solution.
I’ll take your comment into consideration. Thanks for visiting! πππ»

Thanks Paul. π
No good deed goes unpunished, Mike.
Thanks John. ππ»
I too solved the puzzle without difficulty though didn’t get around to it until the end of the day, which is now evening for you folks in the east. I enjoy everyones’ comments so please keep them coming. If I just wanted to do the Jumble I wouldn’t bother with your blog. No snow where I live but we’ve had tons of rain which is good because we’ve been in a drought for so long but now there is significant flooding in some of our surrounding counties.
Thanks for the nice words Betty. It’s refreshing to get comments in the evening so feel free to lend your thoughts whenever you have time. I hope today’s puzzle was kind to you. π
