Much too late to worry about that.

It's that first AARP mailing that really gets you. How did they know?

I bet the AARP don稚 have a clue, or care, how much we hate getting those mailings. It sure didn稚 feel like an honor or being given entry to an exclusive club. I cringed every time I received one. A decade later they gave up. AARP is basically a front for an insurance company with other benefits. Very devious.

Luckily our CARP seems to have a less pushy attitude. I have yet to hear from them and yes, there is room in the waste basket.

For the past five years or so, I've been asking myself "Heck ... when did that happen?!!" Yeah. Join the club.

Started riding more than 50yrs ago. I'm still goin'.
