Speaking of saving, I need to get around to buying a Chicago Card, because saving 50¢ a day eventually leads to something significant.
I've been out of the abbey two days, I've beaten a lawman senseless, I've fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong.

Also, for Buffistas who rent: approximately how much of your monthly income do you spend on rent? And how much is too much?

Mine is almost exactly a third of my take home, maybe a smidge more. Why the hell am I so broke all the time?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Cookery types--if I use sour cream instead of yoghurt when making banana bread, what are the likely effects? Should I bump up the baking powder to compensate for slightly less acidity? Bump up the liquids to compensate for the thicker texture?

I think I'd take "cut and run" over "stay and pray", but I think there are other options.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
ita, I've swapped them one-for-one and not altered anything else with no problems, but not with banana bread (because I don't like banana bread).
