Votes were pretty widely scattered this round, with the top score just four
points. Two players--Wayne Scott with imagination (#21) and Fran Wetzstein
with sensitivity (#6)--tied with that number of points and, since Wayne
ranks higher in the rolling scores, Fran's the real winner and we welcome
back the California Curmudgeon as our next dealer.

The three runners-up, with three points each: Chris Carson (#19), Dave
Cunningham (#11), and Paul Keating (#1).

Details below.

Take it away, Wayne!

Dodi,

Congratulations on a very nice D0. I was afraid I was going to screw it up by voting for 2 defs with no votes but I'm glad to see I didn't - not to mention that voting for the correct def would have made me the dealer.

Chris

Nice of you not to mention the important def that didn't get any votes!
Way to go on the D0!

This was a well-earned D0, a direct result of a superb woid that allowed
many creative and believable alternates!
