Today’s Cryptogram

LBWKTO BW ZATLBAU LGPY YT KT ADFY, WZBNN BW ZATLBAU GTL YT KT BY, PAK QBMYSD BW KTBAU BY. –KPQBK WYPMM RTMKPA

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.

Not too hard, but I’m not familiar with the author.

I, too, am not familiar with the author. It wasn’t too hard once I got the right clue...a snap really.

Sorry guys, not much too work with humor wise with this quote. Best I could do today. The authors bio doesn't impress me either. He is into ichthyology, so I guess I could have posted a fish?

About 3 min. Was not familiar with author, but should had been based on a couple of his jobs.
