That’s what it sounds like. Tymco and The Brute: they met at high noon in Austin. Did the tree flowers clog Tymco? First Tymco brushes and then it vacuums. Did something break? The Tymco operator was looking pretty bored and tired of waiting as The Brute appeared. If “The Brute” is an actual model of a tow truck or wrecker, Google didn’t find it. “The Brute,” in large blue block letters was probably added by those fine folks at Southside Wrecking, the ones who have the contract with the City and whose impoundment yard is down there around St. Elmo, along with other mysterious outfits like the St. Elmo-Tel and Southern States Giftwrap Company. I think “The Brute” has eight wheels and two stacks. It was an intricate job to get Tymco in a state to be towed away. Tymco could never ever look as clean and shiny bright as The Brute.
