Henry turned one a day after Vincent's birthday. Looking back at some "old" photos, I realize Henry hasn't changed that much personality wise.

Is Amazon up to their old tricks again? Search for the "Earthwise 60120" lawn mover and it's listed at $310 in the search results. Click on the link to see the item and the price changes to $330. Guess Super Saver Shipping isn't free after all.

Or... It could just be that their search cache was stale and they raised the price.
