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 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.
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 tan

About 2 min. Got most common letter, then 7th word. This opened up rest of puzzle. However, I had to be careful with 6th word. Almost plugged in dirty word. Have a safe day.

This brings to mind that, er, large boat that made its way up on the rocks off the coast of Itly a few years ago; that’s what would happen should this pinhead have his way.

Around a minute. 1st & 3rd words by inspection; 4th word obvious; first word after the semicolon; off to the races.

Probably 5 minutes today. The quote is a little too close to this "author".
