[Blindtlk] Any suggestions?

Well, I don't think there is a magic answer.  Some of it is 
experience, the more one does something the better she is at 
it.  Also, momentum helps keep a cane user straight, to a certain 
extent.  Finally, we just have to pay attention, and note any 
changes, or unexpected things, and act accordingly.  I have done the 
same thing -- did it just a couple weeks ago, wandered out a 
convenience store entrance out onto busy street.
