It was looking like a D0 right down to the wire -- until Dodi zoomed in
with a correct pick. Nevertheless, the unusual one-word definition by Tony
Abell attracted lots of votes and made him the winner and NEXT DEALER with 8
natural points.
My heartfelt thanks to all who inquired about my health problem that caused
a bit of a delay in playing this round, and to those who so kindly offered
to take over the dealership in progress.
