I'm guessing that several of you found other things to do on a
Saturday afternoon... This round is a departure from out usual
procedure, because the highest vote getter will not be the next
dealer. Yours truly and his dictionary garnered a total of 7
points! But we did produce a new dealer in the person of Tony
Abell, whose gate of iron bars (#5) earned six points. Chris
Carson and Dan Widdis are the "real" winners with four points
each.
Over to you, Tony!
