Ah, but another thing you can do is fish long enough to catch 3 fish
(and perhaps a sandal or dagger thrown in) - sell the fish and then buy
the muffins and milk. Fishing adds variety to the game. I've also done
fishing when I really need to read a textbook (for work), but I really
want to paly EQ. I compromise by fishing. Read a paragraph, press the
fishing hot key, read a paragraph, press the fishing hot key....

Mostly I use fishing to pass the time waiting for a boat, and of course
I work on sense heading at the same time.
