Default A Bond of Another Kind

I am getting really spoiled by being able to throw a question out there to TOTVers and getting information back pretty quickly.

This morning I will no doubt be eligible to win a prize or something for trying to start the most boring thread ever in the history of TOTV.

Although I really hope you are all enjoying those wonderful temperatures and blue skies there and are not chained to the infernal machine (sorry JohnZ) today, I thought I would ask my boring question anyway and see what you all know about it.

Here goes:

I like to educate myself on investment topics, but I have to admit that reading about bonds as investments is somewhat akin to volunteering to having my head pinched in a vise.

What I want to know is what anyone can tell me about highly-rated municipal bonds as investments and how to research and buy them outside of a fund.

btw - How is that potential club that was being discussed a few weeks ago coming along? - the one for just plain learning about investments.

Now, Boomer BeBack (Help me, Rhonda, I am talking about myself in third person. - too much snow this weekend.) will be turning this thing off and checking in later. I gotta get something done today, but I will be back.

Thanks for any help you can give me.

BB
