The dealer for Round 1706 is Toni Savage, whose small mainstay
flag (#14) garnered 8 natural points; the real winner is Tim
Lodge who earned 7 natural point for his circular window (#3).
Five of you guessed correctly that the real definition of FANION
is #8, a different small flag.
I was a bit surprised and disappointed that five people who
submitted definitions didn't cast votes--out for the weekend,
folks?
Take it away, Toni!
