I think we have another problem. The word in question is spelled two different ways, depending upon the site one visits.

[Randi]

N, please! You're pretty fast yourself.

[Pinot's Mom]

Allright - there's a flag on this play as well! I'm resolving it the same as I did the last time!

Grace has made a guess which has one word spelled differently than the quote I pulled, but we're calling the puzzle closed again!

Here is her guess:
“Of all God’s creatures there is only one that cannot be made the slave of the lash. That one is the cat. If man could be crossed with the cat it would improve man, but it would deteriorate the cat.”

Mark Twain

Here is the quote I had:
“Of all God’s creatures there is only one that cannot be made the slave of the leash. That one is the cat. If man could be crossed with the cat it would improve man, but it would deteriorate the cat.”

Mark Twain

Ok, leash, lash, whatever!! Differences in web sites!! I knew it would be quick; I didn't know we'd have another conflict!!

In any case, Grace has won, but declined hosting the next puzzle, which means the next highest point getter has the option to host.

RANDI - would you like to host the next puzzle?

[Grace]

Randi will post a new puzzle tomorrow So now we all have time to do those chores that have been neglected - like windows, closets, etc.

[Randi]

Yes, I'll put one up tomorrow! When am I getting those windows cleaned!!
