Gentlemen, Gentlemen,

All this talk of tea and wine for use as artificial horizons. Tsk. Tsk. Tea
and wine are for drinking (especially red wine -- I recommend a Tasmanian
Cabernet Sauvingon called "Morilla Estates"; the very best).  You want a
good artificial horizon, I would go for the dark glass ones. Sure, you have
to level them but that takes about 30 seconds at the most; and best of all,
you can't spill them and you don't have to boil them to make them work
better.

regards,

Robert Eno

to mind the habit of 19th century English watercolourists working in nature
in the winter, taking a flask of gin to mix with the rinse-water, assuring
that the water did not freeze.
