Jim: Boss  Cat has a nostalgic feel to the photo to me. When I was a young 
teen I worked in a garage after school and on Saturdays pumping gas and 
changing oil. I remember the smells, the old parts sitting around and the 
folks coming in to talk to the owner and shoot the breeze. A different era 
from today's fast oil changes and high tech service centres! I remember the 
old calendars on the walls and your photo brought all of that back. 
Thanks for sharing.
