Today the world’s financials markets blew up.  I should know because I had a front row seat.  Tomorrow may be worse but we’ll take it a day at a time.

Coincidentally another major company blew up recently, or more specifically threw in the towel.  Grivel North America is no more. (link) They cited this reason:

Grivel North America ceased distributing Grivel products on September 1st, 2008. We did our best over the last few years to keep the company alive but the flagging US economy and the Euro’s strength against the dollar prevented us from doing so.

While my wallet is hurting from the financials markets blowing up, my heart is hurting because Grivel is no more.  I really do love my Grivel G12 crampons.
