   Good Morning, Readers one and all!

   Well, Alley, you could build a bridge.

   Or is that too obvious?

   Alternate Alley Oop Chapter 21 “Dead To Rites” (35) 2/7/2014 Friday
   
   In an abandoned ghost town of Bedrock, Arizona an Amerindian shaman Jim Elkhorn (also construction foreman) working with reporter Carl Kolchak have been following a trail of grave robberies and abductions. Both are of unusual scientists and geniuses. To amass a brain trust for the minor Baltic county of Luaxana by its Supreme Leader the criminal Axel Nasti. Alley Oop and Ooola back from their time have returned to this near future present and have found what they are going to do today. Hunt down and stop these robberies.
   The old group from the secret Space Bridge project
   to other worlds are now working with Doc Wonmug to solve this case and coordinate with the other relevant agencies. Dr. Tyler Tucker, Paranormalist was the one who was able to get the ball rolling in the US govt for them.
   
   Some of those Luaxana agents are in Bedrock to find the grave of a scientist, Dr. Deemer. He is next on their list. Elkhorn’s attempt to fool them by switching out grave stones failed when the identity of the body was made right there. They are on higher alert now and he is trying to keep them from getting Deemer and not be killed by them at the same time.
   
   In the mean time Alley Oop and his best gal Ooola have arrived from the past and are on board with Dr. Tucker and Doc Wonmug in their new configuration and have just arrived to meet with them at a nearby airport, also abandoned. Gen. Mann furnished them with a super secret craft which flies by a robot control.

   Why doesn’t Oop pole vault across the moat … I’m sure he can find a suitable tree for the task

   Have Dinny raise its tail over the tar and he can walk over it.

   Dinny could just step over that narrow trench. His neck is long enough that Alley could sit behind the head and then jump off on the other side.

   They could both go around it? How long is that trench, anyway? Did the Lemmians isolate their land?

   I already gassed up with Dinny, into my car, at a 1.34/litre.

   You ground up fossil bones? Oil comes from old plants that were buried millions of years ago. Dinosaurs had nothing at all to do with the formation of crude oil.

    They could go around the end of the trench where they were pouring the oil in.

    I bet Dinny could throw him way over the tar moat.

    Morning, Oopsters.
    

    
    So, here are the options that the readers have come up with –
    1 – Build a bridge
    2 – Walk around the trench
    3 – Use Dinny’s neck for a bridge
    4 – Use Dinny’s tail for a bridge
    5 – Have Dinny throw Alley over the trench
    

    
    Doesn’t seem like such a helpless situation.

    Time travel to before Ooola went on her adventure, stop her from going in the first place, and avoid this whole mess.

    By isolating itself with a moat of tar, Lem becomes responsible for the origin of a phrase that becomes popular in more recent history
    

    
    “What in Tar-Nation is going on here?!?”

    Also, due to the pterydactyl, the worlds first windmill powered oil pump.
