I thought this round was going to be a close-run one, but the last few
votes propelled Dick Weltz into a two-point lead over Scott Crom.
Dick won 7 votes for his innocuous low-growing shrub. Three players
guessed correctly that a STOPSEL is an incediary missile.
So the next deal goes to Dick Weltz with 7 natural points.
Over to you, Dick!
