The Kachemacs Alaska T-shirts are finished! If you are interested, they are $12 for a short sleeve and $14 for a long sleeve. Bring your money to the next meeting if you want one. They were screened locally by The Sweat Shop, and they did a great job.
Who got an iPhone 3G?
I did. The lines at AT&T (otherwise known as iQueues) in some areas lasted a week. Thanks to my husband who did most of the waiting while I was at work, I have a shiny white iPhone. It did take all morning, even in Homer.
