@cassolotl yay!

escaping characters is hard!

@cassolotl try ""&A2&""

that's two speech marks before and after

@maple you've done incredibly well bun

@hfrazey seems a bit pricey but using the bike you've got with you as one of the supports for a tent sounds like a good idea, one less thing to carry

@maple oh, also Coheed and Cambria who mostly do concept albums based on the comic books one of them writes, they're in the running

@maple oh yeah, Tolkien nerds are a whole other thing
