[nagdu] Church update from Colorado Springs

[Jennifer Perdue]

Thanks,

I think I will prefer the long cane as I like to go at a good clip and I don't like it when I hit something and the telescoping cane just collapses on me.

I'll just have to get used to finding places for that one that I'm getting.  I've never had to deal with that issue before.

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.

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.

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.
