Karneval

So...normally something like Karneval wouldn't affect me at all. given that it is 1/2 way around the world. But when you are frantically trying to order tools, from Germany, for a customer who is desperate for them (all the way in Oregon). All of a sudden--something like this becomes a big deal. Pretty much Germany is shut down until Wednesday. errgghhh. Frustrating. But nothing I can do about it.

It's essentially their Mardi Gras. It must be quite the sight.
