I bring it up because ceramic jugs are easily documented, while I have doubts about the hard waxed leather bottle I've been using, and because ceramic would have certain advantages -- won't spring leaks from being left in the sun, can be run through the dishwasher if needed and so on.

Far beyond the rising sun
I ride the winds of fate
Prepared to go where my heart belongs,
Back to the past again.

Well, I'm tough, rough, ready and I'm able
To pick myself up from under this table...
