Whew! Kinda strange deal... apparently this word is fairly well-known in the West (though not in New

Mexico!) or maybe in Western writing. Anyway, it's *sort of* a lot of horses, but much more

specifically, a supply of them kept as remounts (maybe it includes burros... Chambers didn't say).

Yahoo did what it occasionally does to me, delivering Scott Crom's def, AFTER I posted the list, but

timestamped BEFORE I posted the list. (yes, I'm sure. This happens a lot with other messages)

So Mr Crom gets 2 DP.

Another Scott, Wayne, is the next dealer!! With Dick Weltz's eel taking second place in the voting.

Oh, my aching back!
I thought we had all agreed that I would never again be allowed to deal.
I'll be back soon with a word & start on my path to disaster.
