Today's Cryptogram is the from The Arkansas Gazette
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.

I am going to echo comments from yesterday. I did not get a ping yesterday and now today as well. I just have been searching for the post. SO something is wrong, either with the ping list or on the FR side...
Someone slept in today! LOL... okay, so the 3rd word and the 7th word led me to the name (and I always smack myself on the forehead when it’s that name and I didn’t spot it instantly). Great quote, and definitely reminds me of our President!
I’m sorry, bad few days. My computer has been on the blink...

Man...this guy has to learn how to write in English.
His ‘quote’ reads like a poor translation....HA HA
BTW, 2nd one for me today...was LA R.... the missed one from yesterday?
I’m sorry, bad few days. My computer has been on the blink...I thought I had pinged everyone, and it looks like it didn’t.

1:15 - I recognized the author right away. Good advice.
A famous author once said "Laughing at your own mistakes can lengthen your life. Laughing at your wifes mistakes can shorten your life."
Gave the name a good stare...could it be? Yes! That + 30 secs to fill in...
So sorry about yesterday. Computer acting up today. Very weird...!
that’s a good one!
