Gary, is that a/c repair van in Europe or someplace...?

Doesn't look like any phone # that I've ever seen, and the building in the back could maybe be Switzerland or France (Huh?)
Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upward toward the light; but the laden traveller may never reach the end of it.  - Ursula Le Guin

That's a London number on the van.
I do not like, when with me play, and I think that you also

Thanks, Iain.  I got to thinking right after I posted my question that - duh! - the text on the van was in English.
