Yep, that's the one.  Sorry about the misdirection.  I'm not at my best
early
in the a.m., to say the least.  Too bad about the faults, because it
certainly
is an eyecatcher in the photo.  Apparently I'm drawn to the zonals since it
occurred to me that I have an inordinate number of them in proportion to
the
numbers introduced.  Less than five plicatas for comparison.  Can't explain
that exactly.
