[nagdu] Canes was Re: Church update from Colorado Springs

Yeah,

That's what I have now is a folding cane.  It's heavy too and that's why I was just going to order the long cane.  I just hate a straight cane, but it's better than one that collapses when you hit an object.

I wish they stayed open a little better, but I really don't mind using a long cane. It is just that there are certain times at church when I feel more comfortable with the cane than the dog and I always take the dog.
