Tony Dyson, who built the “Star Wars” droid R2-D2, was found dead in his home on the Maltese island of Gozo, according to multiple media reports. He was 68. Dyson’s body was discovered after friends alerted police that they had not seen him for several days, the Times of Malta reports. There was no immediate suspicion of foul play and Dyson likely died of natural causes, according to the paper. ---

In reference to post #899, Joey Feek actually has 65 picks. I didn’t change the picks of one player. Hey, what’s the difference, it’s still going to require a lot of chocolate.😉 Standings won’t change much, of the top fifteen players already on the board, thirteen have Feek. Thirty four players will gain their first points, while thirty one will add to their totals. ---

I think it was just _Last week_ I an article in which he said he had cancer but promised his fans he would finish one more book. If his final words weren’t “Lowenstein…Lowenstein,” then he missed a chance to make an awesome exit from this world. ---
