Today’s Cryptogram

You can find this little fun word game, to combat early dementia and senility in us baby boomers, in several daily publications.
The way it works is a letter stands for another letter. For example: AXYDLBAAXR is LONGFELLOW (does not apply to today's cryptogram).
Beware, the game is very addictive. If this is your first time, don't be intimidated.
PLEASE DO NOT post the answer in general comments, but DO post your time and any tips you might give the group on how you solve these puzzles as puzzle solvers love to hear how you made out.
You can certainly send your solution to my private reply, or if you need a hint for today’s Cryptogram.
Solving the puzzle under 8 minutes is good, under 6 very good, under 4 excellent and under 2 "you're a pro!"
If you need a little help you can copy the cryptogram and paste it to Hal’s Helper below:
You can then work on the puzzle without using pen and paper.
Solution to our last puzzle:
MATURITY IS THE ABILITY TO THINK, SPEAK AND ACT. OUR FEELINGS WITHIN THE BOUNDS OF DIGNITY. –SAMUEL ULLMAN
My mother LOVED these puzzles in the newspaprers. You just put a smile on my face. Thank you. I miss her.
First five words flow...then the author....
I agree. First five and the rest became apparent.
3 min. Is this anti 2nd amendment? /s
I was thinking along those lines. A lib would argue that there’s a Constitutional right to use a CPJKAMQCKMX....Nevermind.

I got off to bad start. Got fooled by the second word, NEE. Once I got to the middle letter of the fourth word, I knew I had it.
If Bill Burkett had used a CPJKAMQCKMX, no one would ever have heard of Buckhead.
I’m happy
I got it right after about 5 minutes.
Missed several cryptograms this week, please add me to the ping list...
That was funny. Nowadays I’d say cellphones.

Snap once I realized a vowel wasn’t double in niddle name
