In case you care (which I doubt), Levis for $29.99 at JC Penny. Of course, that's not in this state, but it was fun and a very acceptable price.

And, on a more philosophical note, sometimes the rocky crags of life throw us down a mountain side and smash our puny bodies on the sharpened spears of stone awaiting us there, eviscerating the poor fool who tried life's climb in the first place; but sometimes, once in a while, they open up on to a concealed valley filled with trees, fresh running water and beauty beyond hope or dream. Viva la chance dans million.
