Here, in my home town, 4.15% right now for a 7 month . . . and safe.
But, Mike, I know what you mean. I do know that our banks, locally,
are substantial and not caught up with "the mortgage scandals", which  
remind
me of the Savings & Loan scandals of the 80's & 90's. They were another
de-regulated piece of work foisted upon the public and paid for by us  
to create
multi-scrillionaires. One of AZ (where guess who is from) was Hurwitz  
who
took over our local perfectly fine and good redwood lumber mill and  
all but
ruined the forests and lives. It's greed . . . but, gosh folks, I  
didn't mean to go
off the deep end but, whew, I am livid these days.
