[Electronics-talk] Lightweight Canes

[cheez]

It is fun!  And when a driver tells me not to hit their car, I tell them, 
"Don't park over the crosswalk.  So back it up, Genius."
And they do.

>> Hello all,

>> business) for many years and loved it. However at Thanksgiving it was run
>> over by a car and broken in half. Does anyone know where I could get a
>> very
>> lightweight slim cane? I have the usual type from Ambutech as a back-up,
>> but
>> they are twice as heavy and more like carrying a tank for me. Also the
>> super
>> light aluminum identity cane is too fragile to carry for every day use. 
>> If
>> anyone knows of a company that makes a lightweight cane I would be very
>> grateful. Shonen
