Todays Cryptogram
Here's a little gem from today's Arkansas Gazette. I would suggest you pan the CG before you start, (panning does not count for your time), to see if you can see some familiar letter patterns eg like ABCA etc. Then jump into it. Anything under 4 minutes is good, under 2 minutes makes you King or Queen for today!

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 todays Cryptogram.
If you need a little help you can copy the cryptogram and paste it to Hals Helper below:
You can then work on the puzzle without using pen and paper.
Solution to our last puzzle:

1 min.
2nd word, 1st word second sentence, 4th word, GO!
Yeah, this is one of those puzzles, where it’s Shazam, shish, boom, baa! Go!!! Is right. The only thing limiting your time, is how long it takes to write the CG out.
Easy, once you identify it.
There’s an easy clue in one word
About 1 and 1/2 min. Forget the metamucil and go.
Huh?
Cute. I had the same thought.
you can choose premium, but you have to ask yourself, is it worth it? Maybe low octane is good enough. :)
How many Doctors would agree with the first sentence?
Then again, without the first, no telling what the results may be, hence the conclusion.
Got the crypto, that pic still is a mystery.
That’s a photo of the author. I think she was a famous actress on the stage.
