Gasoline Alley by Jim Scancarelli for March 25, 2021

Walt had nothing to do with the Suez canal problem. Honest!

Gertie drives the car for shopping and such, doesn’t she? Wouldn’t seem right if Walt didn’t own a car.

With all the changes that are happening so fast and furious these days I feel that way some days too.

I drove a car from 1977 until I moved overseas in December 2019. Pretty sure I can still do it but I’m not ready to trust the other drivers here. I’ve seen some stuff on the road I wouldn’t have tried as a teenager.

My late mom let my brother have her Prius when she could no longer drive back in 2016. Three years later, she was gone. RIP.

Walt is becoming a real drama queen. Or is it drama king??

Did you ever get the feeling that the world was a tuxedo, and you were a pair of brown shoes? (George Gobel)

Bruno meets the ladies after they change, and continues to press Brenda to join his trapeze act. Maybe her and Abretha can just look around, smell the sawdust?

(William Powell does not appear.)

Includes some unfortunate period vernacular, reader discretion advised.

Walt is basically articulating the most extreme example of the maxim my BFF (and a Vietnam vet) has said for decades: “There is still a generation gap. We’re on the other side of it now. And we’re STILL RIGHT!!”

If he still has his car needs to sell it.
