[Numpy-discussion] Strange behavior with boolean slices...

[Cera, Tim]

Figured it out.  I created 'day' as a broadcast array.  Does this
catch other people?  Basically changing day[0] would change the entire
'day' array.  I guess all other elements of the day array are views of
day[0].  Made a copy and everything works as expected.

Kindest regards,
Tim
