You can find this fun quotation puzzle, to combat early dementia and senility in us baby boomers, in several daily publications. I challenge us with the best ones out there.

The way it works is a letter stands for another letter. For example: AXYDLBAAXR is LONGFELLOW (does not apply to today's cryptogr)am).

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.

Solution to previous Puzzle: (select the yellow text with your cursor to read):

PEOPLE COME HERE FROM ALL OVER THE COUNTRY AND FALL IN LOVE WITH SAVANNAH. THEN THEY MOVE HERE AND PRETTY SOON THEY’RE TELLING US HOW MUCH MORE LIVELY AND PROSPEROUS SAVANNAH COULD BE IF WE ONLY KNEW WHAT WE HAD AND HOW TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT. I CALL THESE PEOPLE 'GUCCI CARPETBAGGERS'.

I’ve been waiting for that author to show up.

Kept on trying to make the author Thomas Sowell but it didn’t work!

Remember the day after Pearl Harbor, when JFK went on Television and reassured Americans that all they had to fear was fear itself?

Check this link. The word media wasn't even common in his day, and not used in that sense. Though I am sure he would understand the sentiment.
