Today’s Cryptogram
Courtesy Today’s The Arkansas Gazette This should be a fairly easy one for our veteran puzzle solvers. Try decoding it line by if you can. Any time under 6 is good, 4 minutes is excellent. Under 2 would be world class.

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.

If 6 were 9
Double letter, vowel thar precedes it, two words after it....fill in the blanks.
About 1 and 1/2 min. Got first 2 words, contraction first. Then last word. Fill in the blanks after that. Author very talented.
Seriously?
I would still mind...
I thought it was rather obvious...lol
Show-off! ;)
Well, sure I suppose, though there are a long list of manic depressives. That could be Carrie Fischer or Russell Brand or Mel Gibson or my childhood fantasy love Vivien Leigh...lol
Yes, Vivien was mine too. I love her in Scaramouch.
Used your clue as a starting point. Fun. Took about a minute to finish.
huh?
