age

to furnish my new zealand life with things i went to a house clearance sale. an old man had died, leaving the neighbourhood to rifle through his treasures and junk. i discovered an old valve radio in a terrible state, hidden beneath a pile of fishing rods. i couldn't wait to get the thing home and begin repairs. on a working radio i heard the news. in court that day chaos reigned. an 89 year old man was facing stalking charges for harrassing, (with love letters and unwanted remarks) a 74 year old lady, residing in the same retirement home. proceedings ground to a hault when no one could hear what was going on. the judge ordered a break in proceedings until such time that all parties had been fitted with hearing aids.
