Maybe that is whats happening here.  I'm not getting the result I
expect when I use .count.   Is this what I /should/ expect?

Thanks again!

#Mymodel.rb
Class Mymodel
....
  def self.get_certain_records
    find_by_sql("select .....")
  end
end

#index.html.haml
=Mymodel.get_certain_records.count  # outputs 15
-Mymodel.get_certain_records.each do |mymodel|  # outputs ONLY 14
records (the ones I expect to see)
  =mymodel.id
