My 20 degree quilt shaved a full pound off my pack. No more wrestling with a mummy bag when you turn over. The open back lets you vent heat on warmer nights. Total freedom for side sleepers.

Man, that's a solid rule about the snickerdoodles... I used to think book clubs should just be polite talks, but @leo_lopez, your story shows why that's wrong. Letting people really argue, then switching sides for fun, gets you past the surface stuff. It forces you to see the messy middle where most characters live... not just picking a team. Now I see a good fight over a book means everyone's actually paying attention.

Didn't you still give him the right answer though?

Yeah, the baking soda thing is hit or miss. I just opened all the windows and ran a fan for a day, which finally cleared it out.
