Gasoline Alley by Jim Scancarelli for March 11, 2024

That’ll give you a lift, Walt!

Who’s got (stamina) time to do all that trudging ?

Of course, it’ll break down between floors.

Whoa, check out the big brain on Rufus. I expected him to call it “the magic floor-box”

I do. Even at my age, I never use an elevator. I refuse to admit I am not as young as I used to be. lol

Elevators are faster than stairs?

Ever notice how Rufus’ grammar suddenly becomes perfect from time to time?

Gasoline Alley’s City Hall JUST GOT an elevator? Geez, half of Melba’s day must have been spent dealing with the ADA citations…

Hundred- and ten-year-old city hall that is just now getting an elevator? Life really is slow in Gasoline Alley.

Consider yourself lucky, Walt. Most 130 year-olds are already dead so being able to walk at all should be considered a blessing.

The old-style ones are called “lifts”—-and if you walk you can BEAT them to whatever floor you’re going to

Big surprise: Walt didn’t think about the stair situation before heading over there, and now is whining that the world might not cater to a man born before the invention of the airplane.

Here’s a fun fact: for all the grief given to our current president about his age, Walt is only 7 years younger than Joe Biden’s grandfather.
