Beware, the game is very addictive. If this is your first time, don't be intimidated, you’ll be solving them all within a few days. If you’re stumped, take a break and return to it.
PLEASE DO NOT post the answer in general comments, but DO post your time and how you made out.
You can certainly send your solution to my private reply, or if you need a hint for today’s Cryptogram ASK THE GROUP FOR HELP!
I suggest printing these out and work them on paper. If you need a little help you can copy and paste it to Hal’s Helper below.

Oh, 81 for me and I would love to go mentally one on one with any of them (in a true atmosphere) and would accommodate JB with a round or two but I understand he broke his foot playing with his dog?????
BTW, I thought PDJT would have something to say about JB but he only sent his condolences...
Then again, the anticipation of what MAY be coming probably is good enough to make them wonder WTF....
