Apple iPhone 6 and 6 Plus Update
We're Gonna See Long Lines Next Friday

It looks like we're going to see the long lines in front of Apple retail stores that we've come to expect next Friday. Apple can no longer make same-day hipping claims but will have iPhone 6's and iPhone 6 Plusses available in Apple retail stores Friday, September 19. Those two data points add up to one thing: long, long lines. In addition, it will be the first time folks will be able to actually in their little paws the phones themselves to determine what they want a big iPhone or a really big iPhone. Unless a real shooting war breaks out in the Mideast next Friday, the lines in front of the Apple retail stores will be the big story.   
 
And cynics will say it was all staged. By Apple.

Snowfall: Not Only Rare, But Record-Setting

The Casper Star Tribne is reporting:
A late summer snowstorm dropped up to 20 inches of snow in parts of Wyoming.
The rare September snow on Wednesday and Thursday damaged trees and caused power outages in some areas of northern Wyoming.
While the heaviest snow fell in the Big Horn Mountains, the town of Buffalo received as much as 10 inches.
The 3 to 5 inches that fell in Cody is the earliest recorded snowfall there since 1915, when records started being kept.
The previous earliest recorded snowfall in Cody was Sept. 12, 1970.
