Mugs

Capitalizing on Anita's idea.
The symbol on the cup commemorates our survival of CO poisoning last month.
I can't wait to drink my morning coffee from my new TinTin cup!

Public transportation

20 years ago when I first came to Austria I really longed for a pair of skates or a skateboard because of all the walking we did. Now the Viennese have caught up with my daydream.


This was taken on the U-Bahn, a lady who uses a scooter to get around on city streets, then for longer distances uses the subway. It's a great way to get around!

Location:Uferstraße,Purkersdorf,Austria

On my new coffee cup?

From kyiv and Austria
Anita is the one who came up with this idea. I think the fact that I somewhat manipulated the graphic makes it ok for me to plagiarize it, any experts out there?

Seafood

This is one of my friends who has recently come over to these parts from a place she calls "the Rock".


Several months ago she told me it was lobster season back home. We saw lobster for sale here and decided that we better live on borscht like everybody else here seems to get by on.

But here this day in the big city right there on the sidewalk is a man selling these little craw-dads!

I saw them and I said, "I know who'd enjoy them!"

Of course that made little A. twitch, but as I kept on harping on the same subject in a firm insistent way, it inspired little A. to relent and allow me a phone-call, wherein I could check the menu plan for the next few days.

I could taste the future.



From Fish

Not quite lobster, but we enjoyed the flavor and color of something different!

Carbon-Monoxide

From Carbon-Monoxide

From Carbon-Monoxide
I didn't know if I could post this, but time makes things better. Carbon-monoxide is an insidious danger that we are scarcely aware of. We spent part of the day in the hospital on I.V.'s one day last week getting detoxed from CO poisoning.

From Carbon-Monoxide
We had built a fire in the rooms we were sleeping in and gone to sleep before the fire was out. I was awakened in the early hours by my co. who was in the other room whimpering.
We woke up with terrible headaches, but we were lucky to wake up at all.

Sunday in the Village

"Дивні Хвилини"





"Той Хомін Світу Силний"


My co worker was out cold, 3 kids and a hamster back in his cage after a week of darting around the house and a half naked little boy putting his jeans onto his Teddy bear...yes it was rich.
