Not a good way to start the week ! The anagrams were there , but the jumble was just not there ! I even looked up Maurice Houdailles to see if I could get a clue , but didn’t get anything ! This one had me shock less ! I’m gonna make it a short one ! Have a good start of the week Monday !!!!

I was looking for a word to start this phrase, and was surprised to see a THE. Thought it would be more along the lines of suspension or such. Anyway, solved the anagrams and put it all together pretty speedily. As always, Angela…thanks for a clever and informative post. Terry

YW, Terry…and Tk you. 🚗🙋🏻♀️

Nice Monday Jumble. The anagrams were easy and the solve was right there for me. I’m thankful for the Shock Absorbers in my life. We do have it pretty good thanks to all of the great inventors of the world. Thank you Angela for the link to Sade. Always loved that song. Thanks, Stan

Good morning. Lucky enough to get both parts without much difficulty. Enjoyed the song video and the extra jumbles Angela. Until tomorrow take care.

A great Jumble solve on Martin Luther King Day! A quick solve of the anagrams and an even quicker solve of the cartoon! Chuck.

Greetings from San Francisco. And being from San Francisco got ‘zodiac’ immediately. Was on the mind as I’d recently discovered there was a movie made about the hunt for the killer but still deciding if I will watch. Unhappy day as most are off today but I have to work.

A shocker!!

Hi! The cartoon answer stumped me for a little bit, but then I suddenly thought of “ride,” & then the rest fell into place! 🙂

Seems the mechanical Monsieur Maurice
Whose hands were all covered in grease
Had an idea so fluid
And he decided to do it
And…..his invention was not just caprice…….
His brilliant hydraulic brakes
Would get rid of the bumps and the shakes
To drive over a rock
Was no longer a shock
Be done with the pains and the aches!
Helen

🤷🏻♂️Maurice had enough with the bounce, Each bump and he gave up an ounce…. He thought what can I do, To help us get through… A car ride completely sans pounce…🤷🏻♂️
🚗 The springs and the coils all felt, Despite that the cars had cost gelt… ‘Twas so painful to ride, Being thrown side to side… (‘Cause remember there weren’t seat belts)! 🚗
🔩So he rolled up his sleeves and plunged in, And the shock absorbers did begin… They would cushion the blows, Keep one off of one’s toes… And there wasn’t a sign of chagrin! 🔩
👍🏻 All the bumps in the road? Now don’t matter, He got rid of the incessant clatter… Driving now became smooth, And he “bolstered” the mood… Of drivers whose goods now won’t scatter…👍🏻
🚗 So here’s to our Frenchman, Houdaille, Shock absorbers the new battle cry… He saved so much grief, By giving relief… And the nuts and “jolts”?…Bade them goodbye…🚗

Didn’t get the ‘de rite idea”. I got “THE RIDE AIDE”. I think it was a “lemon”.

And note that you’re wrong with both….🙋🏻♀️
