Bless Ya, Or, As We say...

 

 

As Alstom and I spoke about me visiting them in Vienna, Austria... here is a gem from when I was visiting in the late 1990´s when studying - sadly we had no time to go in but I got this pic!

 

 

Man to the left:

"TRSN...
TSCHSN....
TZNRN...
TRZESNIEWSKI"

The other, thinking it´s a sneeze:

"GESUNDHEIT!" 

 

Fun sign, huh?! For Tom´s Signs2.

 

They are still around, so they must be good, see here.

If Alstom keeps me I sure will have brekkie there! Or order to Alstom  for the team as TRZESNIEWSKI has the service.

 

On their site they explain:

"In 1902, the first 'Trzesniewski' was founded by Franciszek Trzesniewski, a native of Krakow, at Tiefen Graben in Vienna. 

...

In the 1920s, Mr. Trzesniewski had another brilliant idea: He cut his bread into small portions. This made handling even easier – no cutlery, no plates, just bite-sized pieces. Completely traditional, without ostentatious decorations or frills – reduced to pure quality and taste."

 

Sounds good, huh! 

 

Hehe...

 

 

Seesh, I hope he wasn´t pointing at me! We had a rough start until... he saw me taking notes with the Mont Blanc my Mom presented me with. A pen from the 60´s. He was so impressed and we got along very well since!

 The James Phillips Affair

At the beginning of the 20th century, in the town of Guthrie, Oklahoma, a man named James Phillips was imprisoned for a long-forgotten crime. He was sentenced to death by hanging, but there was just one problem: the town had no gallows.

So, of course, they had to build one. Throughout the entire construction process, Phillips was able to observe the gallows being built from his prison cell, which eventually caused him to become so agitated that he suffered a fatal heart attack. After Phillips' death, local residents swore they heard his footsteps as he fearfully paced his cell."

The countdown to Creep: 

 

21 days he waited to get out!
