Here’s the [Wikipedia page](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Hastings). Otherwise, what did I miss in the rules? See, this is why I have to make the occasional post like I did. You do indeed have Hastings, a unique pick by the way, and he is worth 11 points. I could have sworn I’d checked all those names. So you go from a tie for 29th place to sole possession of 24th place. ---

I’ll post about this again next Saturday, but from Sunday, July 20th, to Saturday, July 26, I will be away from home on vacation. A alot of motels/hotels have a free use computer, so I’ll try to keep an eye on the DP, but I won’t be able to update any needed changes until I return.

I like the way **Baker** needs to explain why she needs a vacation and to explain how she won’t be able to update the game while she’s gone. **Baker** , you do a great job. Go! Take some time off.
