Today’s CG is from yesterday’s Arkansas Gazette. It’s fairly easy, (just like you asked for). Look it over before you start. There are some repeating words and letters and repeating suffixes that should get you sprinting around the last turn of the derby to the finish line under two minutes. Time yourself today and post it!

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.
If you're just starting out on these, be patient, as you'll be proficient in no time.
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.

Today’s CG is actually from today’s Arkansas Gazette.
Am I first?
4 min. Could have done better but insomnia due to a cold.
Si!
Someone has to be. Someone has to be last too. Then there are all those others who are neither first nor last.
I’m not fast, I’m not slow.. I’m half-fast.... lol
Today, pretty much as fast as I could type it...< 2 minutes.
Me too,
Not as easy as yesterday’s. On a scale of 1-10, with yesterday’s being a 1, this was a 3.
Nice and easy.
Needless to say, when you correctly get the first vowel it is a race to the finish line and only wish the eyes were stronger, the fingers more nimble and the mind swiftlier(sic).
A finish line that Uncle Remus would be proud of
1 min. & 50 sec. from start to finish. Thanks for posting. Solving the CG is a part of my morning ritual. Right after I get my coffee.
LOL, I always find the hard ones easy and the easy ones hard. What does that say about me?
First word, first name, and then it was pretty straightforward.
This was obviously written before the advent of the modern day Soap Opera.
Or other really bad movies?
