Good Tuesday Morning, Jan. 3, 2012
Well Speakies we are in a new year and Joey Z wishes nothing but the best for all of you this year. Yesterday was considered a holiday due to New Year’s Day falling on Sunday. We missed a few holidays that I would like to mention:
Swiss Cheese Day – I like Swiss cheese on a nice torpedo roll with roast beef and a cup of hot au jus sauce for dipping, my kind of sandwich. It was also Science Fiction Day, now you all know I love those old Sci-Fi movies and I’ll be watching them as long as they come on the tube. Now let’s see what is happening for today.
Birthday of the Brooklyn Bridge – Now for the man who designed the bridge was John Augustus Roebling, a German born American civil engineer who was famous for his wire rope suspension bridge designs one in particular was the Brooklyn Bridge. A proud part to write about was that Roebling moved to Trenton, NJ and built a large industrial complex for wire production. His plant inspired the motto on Trenton’s Lower Trenton Bridge, “TRENTON MAKES, THE WORLD TAKES.”
It is also National Chocolate Covered Cherry Day and to me Cella’s Chocolate Covered Cherries are the best, especially the dark chocolate kind. I have to stop talking about sweets now, I’m sure most of us had our share over the holidays. Well it’s back to work for the most of us so let’s get started and I hope you all have a great day.

Hi Joe:)
John Roeblings Mom thought he was gonna be a big shot back in his days growing up in his pretty little town in Germany. His dad had a tobacco shop there as I recall.
Thank God for him. No Roebling, no Burg as we knew it :))
Mack you are 100% right on that call.
