 Who needs a heater in New Mexico?

Gerry (In California where we don't need heaters either).

Well, now.  A proper Morgan heater is surely much simpler.  On my F2, I
just 
touch a match to the wick of the whale oil reservoir, close the lid of
the 
little brass box and tuck it into the foot well!  Open the bonnet and
twist a 
knob, now really is all that fooling around necessary?  Next you'll be 
telling us you wind up the windows to keep the heat in when a lap robe
works 
just fine and  can be used to sit  on for your next roadside picnic.
Can 
anyone suggest a good source of whale oil these days?
