Always enjoyed the tar pits & adjacent museum. I understand they're now re-doing the displays, but I don't know how or why.
It was a deadly trap for the old beasts. The tar lurked around and below the surface of the water that drew the unsuspecting animals. The quantities of tar were deep and just wouldn't quit.
Call it what you will, quicksand or tar, it's la brea in Espanol.

A gizmo was invented, a car-wash owner's dream,
It kept wash-water soapy, rinse water mostly clean.
A pitfall was the influx
Would have cost them big bucks
For nucleated water heated to extreme!
Had to work at #4. Just jotting letters for me the riddle.
Just needed one wet Limerick today, eg Owen. I'm working on getting Picard to join us here.

No problem with the clues,but I mistakenly wrote down an 'n' instead of the second 'l', which held me up on the solution for a bit. That straightened itself out, and I did really like this pun.
Didn't quite understand everything in the poem today, but I saw how it incorporated all the words into a consistent theme.
I had only a little trouble getting the third Jumble item, and, to my delight, the solution came quickly. Couldn't wait to see Owen's poem to see if I got everything right, and there were all five words in that amazingly brief and compact poem. Don't know how you do it, Owen, but congratulations, as always. Sad story about those poor La Brea mammals, Ol'Man Keith. Haven't been to Los Angeles in decades, and so don't remember if I ever saw the museum exhibit. Anyway, fun Jumble, as always, and fun poem and comments.
