Just in case you are like me and have read more books on mountaineering than finances, here is a video which may help you understand the current credit crisis. In case you don’t care and would rather read a book on mountaineering, I recommend Into Thin Air or Eiger Dreams by Jon Krakauer. I’m a little partial to Eiger since Jenny and I have been there. (The bottom, not the top.)

Hey J.R.
Mike and I can remember the Smothers Brothers and a folk song they had about Pumas in the Crevasses and while it wasn’t economic you sure didn’t want to fall in one.
