  1. Good Morning, Everyone…💨THE SIN OF EMISSION! 💨

    🎶 Now, laughing friends deride TEARS I CANNOT HIDE ..Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, so I smile and say..”When a lovely FLAME dies…SMOKE GETS IN YOUR EYES”..🎶… “Smoke Gets In Your Eyes” – The Platters 1958 http://tinyurl.com/2fehsz8x *

    💨 Their day started with a bit of WHIMSY, but they now felt there had been a THEFT,
    For the SHEEN disappeared with this driver…and they’re now feeling somewhat bereft…
    Stuck behind him they easily turned GRUMPY …due to emissions that the car is booming…
    Thinking those days had passed, they’re now definitely aghast…
    And we now find that yes…THEY WERE FUMING! 💨

    Today…FUMES… http://tinyurl.com/bd8xdceb …Definitely ob-NOXIOUS…but they do make for a TERRIBLY easy way to SMOKE out our solve…

    So…DEF, (short for DeForest) and IMA CHOKIN, out for what they thought would be a pleasurable ride…Only to find themselves TIREd, EXHAUSTed and aGASsed at being stuck behind a FUME-spewing vehicle… Are they ANGRY? Are they IRATE!….Are they…FUMING? …All of the above…And we’d be a ship of FUELS if we didn’t see today’s solve BREATHING down our necks…The Chokins? THEY WERE FUMINGhttp://tinyurl.com/5aay2684

    Jeff’s Gems? The old Rambler with the SCRMBLR license plate… Def’s coffee in the cup holder, and the reference to the Clean Air Act …. http://tinyurl.com/yuc2nsuc …That’s what’s thAIR today…

    So…There you have it Folks…Done. Have a good one. Be well, be kind, stay safe…And speaking of EXHAUST, I’m feeling very TIREd and a little sick after adjusting my fireplace vent…I hope it’s not the FLUE…💨🙋🏻‍♀️

    * And for you, Terry…a nod to Mr Jerome Kern 🎶😉

  2. 🙇🏻‍♂️THEY WERE FUMING, when the petty THEFT that occurred amidst the WHIMSY of their scheduled show, took the SHEEN from it all…leaving the cast feeling disappointed and GRUMPY…🙇🏻‍♂️

    🤷🏻‍♂️The SHEEN began to tarnish, like a THEFT it took a toll,
    And what had been pure WHIMSY now was ruined…no hyperbole…
    The group of them turned GRUMPY, and they felt failure was loomimg…
    Their efforts by the wayside now…so of course THEY WERE FUMING! 🤷🏻‍♂️

  3. No tacos today ! All the anagrams were there except SHEEN ! I just couldn’t SHEE it ! The other three were good ! The jumble had me FUMING ! I got THEY WERE , but couldn’t figure FUMING out ! I thought it had an E in it ! That would’ve made the letters with 4 E’s ! Well we’re going to be seeing a lot of Fumes soon as the weather keeps getting colder ! Oh well , I actually had a WonTon taco on Sunday , so I’ll get some next Tuesday ! Great song by the Platters ! I love that Smoke gets in your eyes ! So bring on a no-jump Wednesday! Everyone have a good taco-Tuesday !!!

  4. 🚗 ‘Twas the most perfect day for a ride,
    Put the top down and savor outside…
    But their day went down south,
    With the fumes in their mouths…
    The discomfort way too much to hide…🚗

    😷 Ima can’t breathe…she’s starting to choke,
    Def is getting so mad with this bloke….
    Who they got stuck behind,
    With smoke making them blind…
    It’s like watching a fire be stoked! 😷

    🤷🏻‍♂️The emissions are tainting the air,
    But the driver? He’s devil-may-care…
    Def has doubts it’s legit,
    For a car to spew grit…
    And he’s this close to starting to swear…🤷🏻‍♂️

    🙇🏻‍♂️With the fumes blowing right towards their face,
    And no way to get free of their place…
    It’s no wonder they’re pissed,
    ‘Cause they’re sitting amidst…
    Air that’s feeling as if they’ve been maced!🙇🏻‍♀️

    🤷🏻‍♂️Wonder how Def and Ima will fare,
    Do they find any way out of there?
    Can they pull off the road?
    Escape these fumes that flowed?
    Here’s to hoping there’s help for our pair! 🤷🏻‍♂️

  5. It was not a blind solve Taco Tuesday…but I finally scrambled around and solved the puzzle. I, too, had trouble with SHEEN, but after solving that and the three others, was left puzzled. Tried all sorts of combinations until FUMING emerged !! Tough day. When reading Angela’s excellent post, I was hoping for recognition for Mr. Kern…and by golly, she did it. Wow, does that pretty melody go way back. Thanks, Angela. Enjoy your day !!! Terry

    • YVW, Terry…I’m a big fan of his myself. But I can’t set precedent here.. I just figured you both deserved the Shout Out! 😉 It definitely is a pretty melody. And Tk you, I hope you enjoy your day too. 🚗🙋🏻‍♀️

  6. I had no problems with the words. The answer, however, took a lot of jumbling. I guessed THEY, but finding FUMING took a while.

  7. When out for a drive they assume
    That there will be scarcely a fume
    But oh what a shocker
    Car in front’s an air blocker
    As the clouds of smoke start to plume!

    (Not sure if fume is really allowed as a singular noun, but poetic license prevails!)

  8. No problems here today. Figured “They were” first which left fuming. Happy Tuesday all! Betty

  9. Apart from sheen looking like hence I had a quick solve of all even the cartoon. Happy Taco Tuesday to one and all! Chuck .
