<div class="moz-text-html" lang="x-unicode">We've got a tie on
points between Fran and Linda, but since one of Linda's votes came
from Fran, I'll use that as a tiebreaker and arbitrarily pass the
torch to Fran, if she wants it. And since nobody asked, my team
came in 1468th at Jukola (we did finish, which is more than you
can say for some teams!).<br>

wiping overlap, and the wipers are phase-locked.<br>
