“We’re on a highway to Hell-sinki!”
A Trip To Helsinki City
These Finns talk in funny accents and drink lots of coffee.
They drive like nuts, because rally is in their bloods.
They sit naked in the middle of freezing cold in a lake or a pond.
In return, they have this dark small lodge, called the Sauna,
where they sit naked in a hundred degree heat.
Then later in July, when the sun comes out once a year, the complain about a twenty degree heat.

A Trip To Helsinki City
The place where all Finns dress in jumpsuits all year long and polar bears roam the streets.
Penguins and other arctic dwellers are as familiar house pets as a cat or a dog.

On the Streets of Vienna for World Wide Wednesday
“Österreich ist eine kleine Welt, in der die große ihre Probe hält.”
Friedrich Hebbel
Space Oddity in Vienna
“This is ground control: Major Tom, please respond: over”
“This is Major Tom: over”
“Major Tom, we have located your space pod: over”
A moment of silence on the receiving end before response:
“Um… Where exactly did you find it: over”
“City of Vienna, Austria: over”
A muffled “oops” is heard from Major Tom’s end:
“O-K, ground control. Um, any chance you could give me a lift there?: over”
“Roger that M T! By the by, we do not seem to be able to track you on the device: over”
“Well, I am kind of in a situation here…” odd noises heard on the background, “What if I just send my coordinates and you can send vehicle, OK? : over”
In the ground control, quick typing can be heard and in the distance, a loud O.M.G.
“Ah, we got your location. Sending extraction right away: over”
“A big thanks, ground control! End transmission”
Back at the ground control, the two officers are staring at the screen where the location of Major Tom is blinking. The other officer turns to look at the other one:
“I can’t believe he actually ended up there…”
“Yeah, me neither”
The officers continue to stare at the blinking screen, both shaking their heads in disbelief…
And what was the location where Major Tom had ended up in?
Well…

Reflections at the Exit
When you exit
Across the glass made of plexi
Your face is reflecting

Fair warning: images in the mirror may not be as pretty as in real life (or in your own mind ;P)!
