A Dixie Carpetbagger

I don’t drink.  Seen too many people destroy themselves to ever try drugs.  Don’t chase skirts (no male in the family has, since great-grandpa taught us the secret of courting a woman).  I’ve even given up most of my guilty food pleasures.

But a man’s gotta have some vices, and I like a cigar or a pipe every now and then.  Which will be much more expensive soon.  (sigh)  Well, looks like I’m gonna have to start making the ‘shine, like Gramps did.  Maybe grown my own tobacco.

I try hard to keep my libertarianism in check, but it’s becoming harder and harder…
