In the Boston Globe (9 August 1986), there was an article
saying how insurance companies in Massachusetts were asking for
a 33.7% hike in auto rates.  Yes, I did not make a typo, that's
33.7%.  I was under the impression that because we are burdened
with a mandatory seatbelt law, our rates were going to go down.
Silly me.  I suppose the insurance companies are having a hard
time paying rent on their buildings (seems like everywhere I've
lived, an insurance company had the tallest building in town).
I suppose motorcycle rates will be going up, also.
