My car has been having starting problems lately. Today the starter died.

I thought it was the battery but a jump start did nothing. I briefly thought about fixing it myself but I took one look at where the starter was and decided to have the tow truck drop it off at my mechanic's.

Gordon Simmons has been towing cars on Whidbey Island for pretty much his entire life. I've had him tow a number of mine over the last 20 years. He is one of those institutions on the Island. A nice guy. At least I had a camera with me and I got a number of shots while waiting.
