I knew I was sunk from the start. The very first voter, Dick Weltz, led the
way by zeroing in on the real definition--#5, the horseshoe cleat--and five
others promptly fell into line behind him.
But even more of you, a total of eight, were drawn to #10, Chris Carson's
little cooking pot, and Chris is our next dealer. Jim Hart, with an
unnatural score of seven for his woody gumnut, #4, is the real winner.
Full details below, with apologies to all for the delayed posting.
Take it away, Chris!
