[nagdu] things that go bump in the night

[Larry D. Keeler]

Brenda I used to do just that!  I used to own one of those really heavy 
straight canes.  I lived in a rough neighborhood in Kalamazoo.  I put a 
titanium bolt where my cane tip should have been.  I filed one end into a 
sharp point and gave many a car a scratch when parking over the sidewalk or 
coming to close to me.
