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, 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.
You can then work on the puzzle without using pen and paper, but I recommend that you do NOT look at the letter counter.
One last request. Feel free to post a fun or clever clue, the more tangential to the quotation the better, but please don’t put the actual words of the quote in the clue.

Thread winner!
I draw the line at brussel sprouts. Yuk!

ONE OF THE LEAST APPEALING ASPECTS OF MODERN PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES IS THAT, TO AVOID SAYING ANYTHING THAT MIGHT PROVE TO BE AN EMBARRASSING, COSTLY BLUNDER, THEY CLING TO A RIGID SET OF TALKING POINTS THAT REVEAL AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE ABOUT WHAT THEY REALLY THINK AND WHO THEY REALLY ARE. — DAVID HORSEY

You’re always a day away
RJPJAAJO, and RJPJAAJO, and RJPJAAJO
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools

I used to hate Brussels Sprouts too until I found this great way to cook them …. Cut in half and caramelized with honey and Dijon mustard on the stovetop.

I had some home-garden sprouts that were edible. Your way doesn’t sound too bad. I grew up with a hatred for Clarence Birdseye, though. Give me fresh or canned veggies. Frozen is for ice cream.
Thanks.
