Westco will be here tomorrow according to UPS tracking site.

I hoped I could get the old battery to charge enough to move the car, 
when I tried to hook the charger to it I found the ground strap broken 
between the battery and the clamp that holds the cable to the body, 
right above the battery.

A quick trip to AutoZone, new ground cable and now the car cranks over 
like a new battery!  The battery is a Mazda one, it looks fairly new.

I think I just wasted a whole bunch of money.... <sigh>  I should have 
looked before ordering....
