An Even Multiple of 10

So the good people at State Farm sent us their monthly greeting today.

Rates have changed, they said.

Imagine that.

But wait. There's more to this than first meets the eye.

Rates have changes, they said. Change in operator age.

Our rates dropped. And, um, let's just say that it's not my birthday that is this year an even multiple of 10.

There she sits, the fair and industrious Trudy, moving her piles of papers from one side to the other, organizing the bills, categorizing the receipts, making this household run. There she sits, pointing happily to the form.

I don't know if it is all due to my age, she says stoically. But overall our rates have certainly gone down — $12.50 a month!

Did I mention an even multiple of 10?
