What's creepier is the sheer number of people who make these fake babies. It's a cottage industry. I write a baby blog and run into new "baby artists" all the time (never write about them though... what parent wants one?). Damn creepy.
Zone pricing... we have a single zone for a couple hundred rural square miles on the north coast of California. We routinely best the traditionally reported highest prices in the country (San Francisco and Hawaii). Today we have $4.79, down from $5.19 a few weeks ago. All of the stations use the same supplier. When a Costco opened up and trucked in its own gas, prices fell everywhere 10 cents overnight and Costco was still 25 cents cheaper.
