Welcome back and enjoy !!!
Bank of America is THE godfather of Hell with Wells Fargo running neck and neck. When the world ends the only things that will be left are cockroaches, Walmart, Wells Fargo and Bank of America. Not necessarily in that order. The order remains to be seen.

Welcome back to the village from another upstate New Yorker. It sounds like you live the way I would like to live but husband won't follow along with my ideas. Oh well, next lifetime I just might live off grid.
