[nagdu] Church update from Colorado Springs

[David Andrews]

If you pull each section tight -- and give it a little twist, they 
tend to stay together -- at least that is my experience.  Personally 
I prefer a long straight cane, but I have a heavy tap so telescopic 
canes don't seem to stay out for me.  It depends on you, how you use 
the cane, etc.  There is no magic answer.  For me the security of 
having a cane that won't collapse vastly outweighs the occasional 
inconvenience of having a non-collapsing cane.

Each person has to decide that for herself.  A dog occasionally isn't 
convenient for those around you -- someone may have an allergy, the 
dog may shed or smell doggy etc., but that doesn't diminish your 
right to use it.  Likewise with a long cane.  Someone may feel that 
it gets in their way, and you should put it away -- tough I say.
