...room. We are, perhaps, unique in the fact that we now live under the router in the hallway. Wireless internet is either slow, erratic, or simply nonexistent at river houses (unless you wed yourself to your entryway’s router). The College’s explanation for this phenomenon is that the wireless network is experiencing unexpected overuse, and they believe that the problem will be fixed by October.

That is a recent phenomenon. Jeans were long considered a $30, five-pocket commodity, with connotations of youth, rebels and weekends in the Western world. Periodically, prices spiked for so-called designer jeans (think Calvin Klein in 1980). But those remained a status sell focused on pocket stitching and the tag; most proved to have short...
