Our next dealer is Johnny Barrs ... he and Chris Carson tied with 5 natural
points each, but it looks like Johnny is ahead in the rolling scores.

Tim Lodge and Dick Weltz chose the correct definition (No.8 ... the
retrogressive planet).
You Know Who was the only DQ; although he (like me) has no astrological
convictions, he just knows stuff
... you may have noticed.

Take it away JohnnyB!


Best wishes,
Millie
