Next message: Marvin Sebourn: "Re: Arificial Horizons and Tea"
Stayed up past bedtime with the pan of water and pan of tea. An hour after
nautical twilight Arcturus still couldn't be conjured in the tea. Perhaps just
my 76 year old eyes. Earlier in the evening the tea had demonstrated
superiority in reflecting treetops, etc.
Jared's hunch about boiled water is a concern. This artificial horizon
drinkability question is opening a new and interesting aspect of celestial
navigation. Boiled water doesn't show me much. I'm hoping we'll get past the boiled
water thing and find that the phenomenon depends on a quality inherent in tea. If
these admirable qualities are in tea, then there's reason to believe they
will be found more abundantly in red wine.
Much work remains to be done.
