Hey, this is Current Yield, Grant's interest rate observer of the air.

I'm Jim Grant, and welcoming you to this pre-vacation edition of this podcast.

With us, as always, as Eric Whitehead at the control panel panel and Phil Grant, who was the editor of

Almost Daily Grants. And coming to us remotely is the great deputy editor of Grants, Evan

Lorenz, who is, I think, in the wilds of Brooklyn. You know, vacation time around here

at Grants is always a moment of intense interest because you never know where people are going to go.

the strangest places. Eric was it was it. Where are we going this time? So I listen in sometimes

Portland, Oregon.

The most exotic destination yet.

Bring the kids, you know.

Is that still on, Eric?

That's still on, yes.

And Evan, I think that you are planning kind of a stay-ish staycation, you know, is living among

cardboard boxes as you are.

I guess you had your work cut out for you.

Yes, I'm planning on seeing the scenic north side of my apartment this following two weeks.

Yeah. Evan is a frequent traveler to the 50th state, Hawaii, which although what lacks

something of the geopolitical drama that Eric seeks in his travel, it's similarly now kind of off limits, right? You have to go there and stay in,

what, the airport men's room for two weeks. Is that it? Yeah, they quarantine you for two weeks,

which means if you have 15 days there, you can spend one day on the beach and 14 days in a hotel.
