This serves as a reference post for people who choose to read about and discuss the history of Gasoline Alley. It will allow them to put their comments in replies. Those who don’t can bypass the discussion by leaving the replies closed. Fair for everyone, I think.
Although not unexpected from uncouth, ungrateful Rufus…. I must say… I find his actions here rather unpleasant, unkind, and wholly unjustified. He is denigrating the wise, gentle sage… our hero, Joel.
Rufus appears more and more a fellow who takes from but does not give to others. He is more than willing to take Joel’s advice (and mishandle it), he is more than willing to try to learn from the teachings of Joel (try, being the operative word, as he almost always fails). But, when Rufus is called upon to help his oldest friend…. he is a grouch, is dismissive, and downright accusatory.
Sure, Joel will imbibe a bit from the jug, and will enjoy a modicum or two or three of tobacco in his pipe…. but Joel is not a man who lives in excess! He is moderate and even tempered in all of his actions, activities, and proclivities.
Joel…. again, I urge you to leave and head back hope to Becky… without doofus Rufus. He will only cause you more grief and difficulty. Go back home, and do take a few nips from the jug to steady your nerves, and have a few pipes. The reality of the transmissions will become more apparent as time goes on.
