Ahem. He's 34 and has been in school consistently since he was ... well, FIVE, I guess. And he is totally jealous when I tell him that we had lockers in law school. If anything, his text books are heavier than mine were -- every book is the size of one of those ultra-fat Con Law books.

Lockers would make such a difference. It doesn't even seem like it would be all that expensive or troublesome for schools to rent them out, you know? In law school they were free, but we got all kinds of perks nobody else on campus got.

Thanks for the info on the Arkel panniers, though. I haven't found a local dealer for those so we couldn't check them out in person but I know people love them.
