Now John and Liebermann are chemists. Who knew?

 

Goodness, now our resident BIPOS is telling us they heating oil is
Chemistry????

 In RBT, it's not chemistry.  It's alchemy.  Start with mineral or
plant oil and Tom can produce anything he can imagine.
 Hmmm... that reminded me that I promised Andrew that I would try olive
oil as an automotive paint polishing compound.

16 fluid ounces (473 milliliters) for $10 to $20.  The cheap stuff is
probably fake olive oil:
<https://brightland.co/blogs/field-notes/fake-olive-oil>
"If quality and flavor are non-negotiables, buy California extra
virgin olive oil whenever you can. This oil (...) is upheld to even
stricter standards than imported olive oils with often complex supply
chains and many middlemen."
 I'll probably pick a bottle that will work with my salads should the
car polishing experiment fail.
 We're having "excessive heat" and "red flag" warnings until July 10. I
can probably survive the heat, but I do wonder why the Russians are
waving the old hammer and sickle red flag in California.  Washing and
lubricating the car finish in the hot sun is considered a bad idea, so
I'll wait until the weather improves.
 

Sucks to be you. I just had a perfect ride on a perfect sunny blue sky morning with no wind. ( looking at rain from noon today through Saturday...)
Regarding olive oil, the secret to Italian olive oil is that it's not Italian. Some large proportion is marketed in Italian packaging but imported first.  It's 'the way of my people' as they say...
