Musings from the shores of Lake Taupo

Mid - Autumn

A nice time of year here. Good for regular bike rides and walking dogs. Together with wife Sharon we take our 2 dogs down to the lake most evenings. It's nice to see the commercial tourist boats returning to harbour.
Sadly we have an evolving story where a 77 year old man has been badly beaten by prison guards. Dean Wickliffe has been in and out of jail most of his life. Paroled a few years back his accommodation got sold and he became homeless. He slept in his car. This is a breach of parole conditions so back to jail he went. There was a disagreement about double bunking and the guards assaulted him badly. 77 years of age. Wow. Some thing is badly wrong with our country. The guard/s have not been charged yet. Disgusting and repulsive. Where to now we may ask? Dean is on hunger strike at time of writing.
