About to email the publisher about this error I found in a foraging book, but want a second opinion on the id of the plant in the photo.

About to email the publisher about this error I found in a foraging book, but want a second opinion on the id of the plant in the photo.

Location: this is a book of edible wild plants of the rocky mountain west: Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Utah, Wyoming.

Just bought this book today and was flipping through, intrigued by the number of entries for Physalis. Got to this page and did a double take. My first impression was Wild Carrot vs. Poison Hemlock but the bracts are not definitively fine, forked, and feathery as typically seen on D. carota. I'm seeing a hint of that morphology on the lower left umbel that is in focus but I'm not familiar enough with either of these species, nor their look-a-likes, to make a confident ID. (BTW I have zero plans to forage any of them.) Figured I'd pose the question here while I consult the field guides available to me. Thanks in advance.

Can't get this crap off my driver's side handle - any advice?

When I first noticed it, I assumed it was from my own grubby hands after working with clay. My efforts to clean it today dashed those hopes. Has anyone seen this before? Any tips? Lord knows what it is... we get shady characters rolling through trying car handles all the time.
