The last Norcal email chat thread about Ashley and Barbie was great. Emails were flying left and right until Glock-357 decided to posts vids of the girls.

New iphone coming late June...
* The first thing people will notice: the 2nd gen iPhone will be about the same size and shape as the first gen.
* It will, of course, have 3G. And proper GPS!
* The most noticeable physical difference is back of the phone is no longer metal -- the whole thing is glossy black, from top to bottom. The volume buttons are now chrome.
* Because it's got a little less metal to deal with, it doesn't have quite as many angular edges. The battery is (still) not removable.
* The phone itself will be slightly thicker than the first gen device.
* The headphone jack will no longer be recessed, and will finally be flush with the body.
* The device itself uses roughly the same size and resolution screen as the first generation product.
* No solid word on battery life or storage capacity.

COSTCO GAS.
The line is usually pretty long but worth it if you like saving money.
$3.91 for 91 when I filled up this morning. I once asked the guy there what kind of gas they use, and he said it was top quality ...comparable to Mobil. The gas at Costco is always at least 15-20 cents cheaper.
I fill up on average once every week and a half.
52 weeks in a year: 52 / 1.5 = fill up 35 times a year
The tank is 17 gallons. I am saving (17 x .15) = $2.55 everything I fill up.
35 x $2.55 = $89.25 savings per year.
hmmmmmmmm. guess that is not much after all. but at least that pays for the Costco membership!
