 Wow! After this dropped a quarter point in the last day I figured it had to be out of contention for the blue. I'm very pleasantly surprised. Thanks, y'all.

And yes, Neat, another from the set I used in the June FS.



That one finished 4th and it's on my wall. This was my also-ran, so what do I know?!
