Update on I bonds

This just in from the Treasury: Bureau of the Public Debt : I BONDS TO EARN 6.73% WHEN BOUGHT FROM NOVEMBER 2005 THROUGH APRIL 2006

The fixed rate went down from 1.2 to 1 -- not up as some had hoped, but not down to .5 as others feared. Just thought y'all might like to know.

We'll have to bookmark that website - we should be paying more attention to bonds. We also endorse your recommendation of Stephen Hawkings' book - an excellent (if sometimes dense) read.

P.S. Thank you for your well-wishes.
