[blparent] a different kind of cane

[Allie]

That probably would have been a good place to have a marshmallow 
rolling tip, right? Grin.

I use an ID cane in conjunction with my guide dog.  If, for some 
reason, he won't go forward, and since it's not always clear 
what's there, I whip out my cane to search.  That way, if there 
are any five-foot drops, I will know not to step off! Hahaha.
