	Liberal?  Not in any contemporary sense of the word, that is for 
certain.  Royalist?  I suppose I'm something of a snob.

	As for tea, I'm a true snob and a snot.  Besides a good Earl Grey, I 
only drink really fine white teas.  In fact I'm supercharging at this 
very moment.  I've been doing triple or even quint doses.  I grind my 
tea into a fine dust.  I half teaspoon of such a powder will turn anyone 
into a rocket to Russia.  Used to be frugal with the tea; now I say 
screw it and let the powder fly.  It's like living on methamphetamine, 
only legal.  That and a good cigar and there's not that much to complain 
about.  Speaking of which, I found a good source for hand made cigars. 
Bought a $15-quality cigar for less than half.  Not quite as mild as an 
AVO Pyramide, but close.  And for that money, I can afford to die of 
lung cancer.  Woohoo.
