It's a dilemma for me because it's not only a financial issue -
running around hunting to buy things - but also an issue where I don't
like hoarding things. But I'm beginning to see - sometimes it takes
me a long time to wake up - that buying a locker of some sort might
not be a bad idea - someplace to store enough shoes to last the rest
of my life. Calculating one pair per year - life expectancy at 74 -
doubtful I'll go beyond it - from the age of 64 now - that would mean
if I found a good pair of shoes I should buy 10 of them and that
should be enough to tide me over till the earth swallows me up.
