The more I think about it, the more I believe PG is missing an opportunity.  
The query is adequately constrained without the BETWEEN clause.  Why doesn't PG 
see that?  I realize I'm a hack and by db organization shows that...

The query is wrong as stated, as it won't work when the interval crosses a year 
boundary, but it's a stop gap for now.

Cheers,
Rob
