“I had rather be shut up in a very modest cottage, with my books, my family, and a few old friends, dining on simple bacon, and letting the world roll on as it liked, than to occupy the most splendid post which any human power can give.”
― Thomas Jefferson
Sounds like a good plan to me, as long as someone brings the beer. Oh, and I'll bet he and his friends all would've had guns in that cottage.

Was just at his little shack in the woods, and somebody Was indeed brewing beer...he also had a MONSTROUS wine cellar. I suspect 'ol Tommy got lit up on a regular basis.
I will say tho that in Williamsburg they had a LOT of smoke-cured bacon, and the cooks there told me it wasn't much for eating because it was MUCH saltier than our refrigerated kind today, and it was rarely eaten as a meat, but instead add to stock and soups for richness and flavor.
