[Blindtlk] To Cane or Not To Cane?

[Tony C.]

Hi Diane and all,
Your comment made me think of the times when I had a guide dog and certain 
people would ask me to leave her at home, stating they would assist me. 
Well, of course I would have none of that!  I have never faced the situation 
where someone has asked me to leave my cane at home or to put it away.  I of 
course would have a few choice, but respectful, words for them.

I am really amazed at how in these fine United States of America so many 
individuals are not educated in the reason for a white cane.  Let's educate 
those who are willing to learn!
