I don't carry a cane on routine trips either, but I do try to remember to
bring one when I go on an extended trip. You'd think I would have learned my
lesson when Glaze's harness (one from LDS leather, not her GDB harness)
broke one day when I 
was walking a few blocks to catch a bus to go home from work. I managed to
find a place to wait for a taxi by employing the assistance of
an...interesting fellow who told me his name was Goat. 

Goat stopped every so often to ask people for money. He said he was
dog-sitting for a friend who was apparently following a band around for a
few days, and he'd run out of dog food. He didn't ask me for money, which
strikes me as an interesting 
commentary (though I must admit that I haven't had enough coffee to figure
out exactly what it's a commentary *on*). I was gainfully employed, and he
might have assumed that I'd be sympathetic toward his cause, but he never
did ask me for 
money.
