Yes, I have considered alternatives. But I have found that I can hire
laborers, bribe people, ransom queens, lure men, etc., with my famous
Double-Chocolate Death Brownies, where I have been unsuccesful with other
pastries. And tea makes me stand upright in the morning (my friends
consider this a safety issue, like having a marshal on the field). But as
I said, those are my vices. You will find no corn, tomatoes, bell peppers,
potatoes, canned Spaghettios or cheap beer in my camp. (I do have my
standards.)
