  1. Good Morning, Everyone…🔒 Fe WHAT IT’S WORTH 🔒

    🎶 Hey now you better listen to me everyone of you, we got a lotta, lotta, lotta, LOTTA WORK TO DO…Forget about your woman and that water can…Today were WORKIN’ FOR THE MAN ..🎶 ..”Workin’ For The Man” – Roy Orbison (original recording) 1964 https://tinyurl.com/52f76her
    
    🔒It’s Iron Man we see today…the OBJECT of our puzzle,
    He’s looking for a bodyguard …a man to provide muscle…
    The JUICY perks, a house and car REVIVE interest for sure,
    And Happy Hogan says, “I’m in…I couldn’t ask for more”…
    WHOSE idea was this theme today…pop culture…not obscurity…
    The bottom line with Tony Stark…there’s always JOB SECURITY! 🔒

    While there’s really no IRON-clad reason to know either MAN in our puzzle today, I always MARVEL at how Jeff AVENGERS, I mean arranges to slip a pop culture theme into the mix….

    So…Today, we’re in the office of billionaire Tony Stark, https://tinyurl.com/ybyu8wt3 alias, Iron Man. https://tinyurl.com/55djt9c2 …Played by Robert Downey, Jr, https://tinyurl.com/52k8fuzv …And we see him offering a JOB, to head SECURITY, to Happy Hogan, https://tinyurl.com/4sfdzkax played by the ever versatile Jon Favreau. https://tinyurl.com/yh463ead …And again, is any of this germane to our solve today? No…but for those of us who appreciate the STRENGTHS, I mean lengths that Jeff goes to to bring some fun into our puzzles, I don’t think we should MASK our appreciation…And for those out there who don’t care for the COMIC relief…well…let’s not look DOWNey on my efforts here…Let’s face it…after doing this day after day…after day…one can get a little STARK raving mad…Anyway…What’s Tony offering Happy? With that LIFETIME = IRON-clad contract?…JOB SECURITY… https://tinyurl.com/yc3f2tfe …And that’s a LOCK…as FERROUS today’s puzzle goes…

    …And I just thought of something amusing. Jon Favreau directed the movie “Elf”… https://tinyurl.com/fzth8bvv …and the Iron Man helmet https://tinyurl.com/46snf6kf is displayed on the shelf…So now I have “Elf on a Shelf” … https://tinyurl.com/mr3aw236 going through my mind…Yes, weird, I know…And another thing that has absolutely no connection to today’s puzzle…🤷🏻‍♀️…But words and rhyming…my head is full! …And as I said earlier…a person could really go STARK-raving mad…🤦🏻‍♀️

    So…There you have it Folks…Done. Have a good one. Be well, be kind, stay safe…And I have a friend, a scientist, who’s constantly trying to convince people that IRON Man could possible be a woman…His argument? …Fe-Male…🎤 Give it a minute.,..🔒🙋🏻‍♀️

    Thoughts and prayers for everyone in the path of Idalia 🙏🏻

  2. 👍🏻Needing JOB SECURITY, he didn’t OBJECT when he was offered a position with his brother-in-law, WHOSE company was showing JUICY profits, and doing much to REVIVE the economy in the area…👍🏻

    🍑The market’s fruits were JUICY, and he enjoyed shopping there,
    Fresh fruit always REVIVEd him…a plum, a peach, a pear…
    The farmer placed an OBJECT here and there to spruce the stands,
    He wondered WHOSE idea it was…no matter, it was grand
    As long as things remained as such, it’s safe to say with surety…
    The workers at this market? Guaranteed their JOB SECURITY🍑

  3. Oh such an easy miss today !!! Nothing initially came to mind, although as I was musing over the puzzle, my eye caught a glimpse of the first anagram and I saw that J was a needed letter. Like a total buffoon, I erroneously thought about that J fitting into the second word, rather than the first. And weren’t we talking about employment…duh?? or the word JOB ?? I’ll let it go at that and think about how much we’ve enjoyed those movies….plus, Angela’s little joke. Glad I knew the periodic table !!!

  4. There’s nothing like a job that’s secure
    A solid future to ensure
    Other jobs come and go
    Some fast, some slow
    But with a safe job there’s no detour!

    sure ensure

  5. I had the obvious cartoon solution as a blind solve but was stumped on the revive anagram, thinking that solution started with a V rather than the R,but then it came to me for a Wednesday clean sweep. I also wish the Fla residents in the path of the hurricane the best, Stay Safe!

  6. Good morning. The letters to the words were mixed up pretty good that it took me time to get them all unlike the blind solve to the cartoon Once I saw your song choice Angela I went straight to it. He is my favorite male singer. Thank you. Until tomorrow take care.

    • Good Morning, Paul. YW…Definitely a voice silenced way too soon. Be well…take care.🙋🏻‍♀️

  7. I didn’t get a blind solve, but it didn’t take long to find JOB. The obvious second word was SECURITY. No problems with the anagrams.

  8. We’ll good morning ! I had a big hump-day with the jumble and the information that Angela gave us was indeed all quality good ! but I must say that we got home late last night and my brain was not at all par , the anagrams were all there but the jumble got me fired , so I didn’t have any JOB SECURITY ! I just couldn’t get over the hump ! So I’m a little thirsty and can’t wait for tomorrow ! Everyone have a great day

  9. Two days in a row with eleven letters in the answer and none repeated. Congratulations David and Jeff!!

    • Hi Chuck…While the Jumble would never be what it is without Jeff’s amazing graphics, all the anagrams are the work of David alone. 🙋🏻‍♀️
