There are several other Jumble blogs, but the ones I checked all started off by listing the answers. In this blog, answers can be either hinted at or masked by burying them in comments. No overt spoilers!
All hints are in the comments!

Comments are the lifeblood of a blog!
Read the comments, and reply to them if you are so moved!
Excitement comes in many forms: Tornado watching in fierce storms. Playing field hockey as a goalie. Rafting the Amazon as a pole-ie.
Opening McGee's closet full of stuff. Fighting a duel with a dude, MacDuff. A tryst with the nanny in the pantry. A college dorm raid to steal a panty.
Staying atop a bar's mechanical bull. Cramming into a car that's already full. For bucket list adventurers, here's motto: Do it today, don't wait for tomorrow!
FLN: I've been thinking a lot about earlier discussions on letting the no-reveal rule go. While I think the no-spoilers policy is needed to meet our goal here, I do think an earlier closing time might be better. It would be more convenient for me if it were 2 hours earlier, but anything up to 9 hours earlier could also be reasonable -- noon Pacific time, 3 pm Eastern time. What say you?
Sure, me too. I go for 2 hours earlier, 7pm Pacific time, 10pm Eastern.
Just did the Jumble. All the clues easy except for the 3d word -- all those vowels again. Didn't need it for the solution, though, which leaped right out at me from the cartoon. And I think that being a bunch of short words made it easy, too.
So I went to your poem for the 3d clue, Owen, and there it was right away. The poem was great, full of exciting things I'd never dream of doing; my bucket list has held many much tamer things, which I classify as interesting but not necessarily exciting.
Thanks for your efforts every day, Owen. They certainly add to my life.
Okay, great, I'll try to remember 7pm Pacific time. Delightful poem, Owen, loved finding all the items, which I got without any problem today. I also got the solution very quickly, thanks to the short words, which always help. So a delightful Jumble experience this morning, and a delightful visit to this site to see your comments. Hope you feel better today, Owen. I'm down with my first bad cold in about 12 years. Thought I was over that in my seniority, but I guess not.
