Good Morning Everyone…I hope this finds you well…
🚤 WHEN YOU NEED TO SEA COWt A SOLUTION!🚤

We had a puzzle on MANATEES back on July 8th, 2020. https://tinyurl.com/by7eavyp Surely not a common topic…But for some reason it stuck in my head…Definitely a tell-TAIL sign that I’m WAVE too invested in the fantaSEA of these Jumbles….
So…I’m thinking that perhaps some background information will come in handy today…
A WAKE is a disturbance of the water that results from a boat or a jet ski moving through the water at high speeds…it’s the waves that are created by traveling through the water. A vessel’s WAKE creates turbulence in the water that impacts other vessels, people, or nearby SEA LIFE…such as…
A MANATEE https://tinyurl.com/y8sp73y2 …An aquatic mammal often referred to as a SEA COW, with a rounded tail flipper, living in shallow coastal waters and adjacent rivers of the tropical Atlantic. The main causes of death for Manatees are human-related, such as habitat destruction and human objects. Their slow-moving, curious nature has led to violent collisions with propeller-driven boats and ships. Some Manatees have been found with over 50 scars on them from propeller blades…Oh, the U-MANATEE!…And as a result, there are NO WAKE ZONES in place for their protection… https://tinyurl.com/ymuaww4c
…And what we’re seeing here today, is a MANATEE who needs sleep…= NOt being aWAKE….But with all the boats SPEEDING by, creating WAKES, he can’t get any…So his wife offers a solution to his problem…Go behind the fallen tree…away from the WAKE being caused….because it’s a NO WAKE ZONE…And we have the solution to our puzzle!
So…There you have it, Folks…Done. Have a good one. Be well, be kind, stay safe….And today’s puzzle reminded me of a conversation my friend said he had with his wife recently…They were discussing weird animals… and she said, “I’ve always wanted to get a MANATEE.” …He answered…”That’s very kind of you. I’ll take it with two sugars.”…I just shake my head…He can be so FLIPpant…And then he wonders why the woman has a COW sometimes trying to put up with him…🚤🙋🏻♀️

There was a couple of different ways to go in today’s Jumble. First of all, I am feeling a little embarrassed to not see the first word as NO, as I was rummaging around trying to find a well-worn phrase. Secondly, thought one word might be LAKE. Didn’t see WAKE right away. Anyway, as usual these days, unscrambled the anagrams and with a Z to contend with, put all the letters in the right place. Thanks for the animal husbandry info, Angela.
Good morning. I came back to reality today. Learned a new word with AZURE and got stymied in the clever cartoon answer. The two letter word in front of the answer threw me all off. I just couldn’t think what would go first. Once I saw the answer I just shook my head and smiled. Now that I’ve had my humble pie I’ll check out the rest of todays posts. Until tomorrow take care.
I started doing the jungle with my mom in 1954 when she was 51. I will be 78 next week. Thank you for all the fun!!
Thank you for sharing your story, Wayne. You’re definitely a dedicated fan! Glad you enjoy it all…Have a great day! 🙋🏻♀️
I recall my Dad doing the Jumbke in the 50’s as well.

Never have I ever had this much trouble with not only the anagrams , but the jumble too ! The only anagram I got was KAZOO , the rest were just not there for me ! And the jumble was not there for me either ! So I’m gonna take me a nap in the NO WAKE ZONE ! One of the hardest I’ve seen in a long time ! And I’m a man of coffee , not a manatee ! I better take me a break ! But one consistent thing is the Beatles song choice ! Great one Angela ! Everyone have a Good Friday !!!!!!!
Tks, Jim🙋🏻♀️
Negate got me along with the others, but then the cartoon answer was a fairly quick solve.Happy Friday to one and all!
I too paused at negate but was able to figure it out. Then had to ponder the first word of the cartoon answer but saw zone and wake so that left no. Have a good day all!
