Ok. This is nerve-wracking, but here goes. I tallied all but the last two
votes before work, and now I'll send from my phone (in McAlester
Oklahoma). If anyone sees any accounting errors, please speak up!

Our winner is (if I read the rolling scores right, and it is said that they
gather no moss) Dick Weltz with 4 natch points! The loser, ooops, that was
auto-correct for "Dealer" the next dealer is Mr. John Bars with also 4
natch points! Those mean old rolling scores. Judy Madnick was our only
guess-righter, the dictionary was #3. I know, Judy's bluff was very close,
but with both "somewhat" and "quiet", I felt it deserved to stay un-joined.

Thanks for the patience, I hope I didn't flub anything too much!

No. I did not vote. You did not miss it, Keith. I have been busy running
family around from out of town, picking them up at the airport, and getting
things arranged for my uncle's funeral. After that, I am leaving for Utah. I
won't be around for a few weeks.
