   I actually thought Transjordan was the term they used for that neck of the Earth before the world powers came up with the partition plan.

   Then I looked it up, and found I might have missed it by a millennia or two. oops…

   I got a rock.

   Keep it clean, and Good morning, crew!

   1 – “YES! It’s a scene from the Benny Hill Show!”

   (or at least it could have inspired one, heh.)

   “Gasali” is actually Gasoline Alley’s sister city in Jordan. Or Transjordan, as it was known back in Genesis 19:37-38…

   First off, be sure to check back for the classic updates for the 16th, which posted mid-afternoon yesterday… and there’s now a more timely set of four more updates for the 17th:

   There was no tracking of global warming back in 1931, but a couple of sunny days in the Alley have turned the Ranger’s moneymaking golf course into one large water hazard. The fledgling business looks like it’s going under.

   Hipshot and Rick swap ideas of how to camp out in the wilderness while not being seen by hostiles. Not that they have much to worry about these days, with the Horse’s Neck/Gen DeBillity feud raging in the dailies.

   As squadrons of Wacky Scientists close in on the ranch via amphibious landings and possibly parachuting from planes, Lazy Grayson is not taking Basil’s news well at all, in fact she’s reading him the riot act and evicting him from her playground/secret love nest…

   Slim tries to sell Clovia on this swell trailer home he just bought, while Cloves only has eyes for the thick mortgage coupon book Uriah Pert gave the Kid upon signing the deal. They could be paying off this turkey into the 21st Century!

   Well it took a little longer than hoped to get done, but it’s a full classics update for Thursday:

   The Rangers are getting good business for their snowy mini golf set-up, but I don’t like the looks of that big yellow fireball in the sky.

   The Chief does the General a dirty turn as he gets his revenge for the bombing of his auto-mobile. Now does that make things even, or will the General feel obliged to escalate matters?

   Here comes the clown show to save the day! As the scientists wade up to the ranch like the Marines at Iwo Jima, Basil points to his immediate future if he doesn’t find the right formula for his Black Orchid serum. I bet Lazy Grayson didn’t sign up for taking care of zombies.

   Slim is playing three-dimensional chess five steps ahead of Clovia’s game of jacks – owning is so much better than renting. He’ll take his apology any time she’s ready to admit to his superior idea.

   You can’t be proper pirates if you don’t sail in shark-infested waters.

   Everyone be sure to use the “buddy system”! Good morning, crew!

   Well here I am at 1 am local and still haven’t been able to get to the classics update for the 16th. Still a bit of ‘other’ stuff to do here, but I hope to work up something of an update to post sometime after the dawn, more likely around noontime, plus or minus.

   Will respond back here when it’s up.
