[stylist] rollerball cane tips

[LoriStay at aol.com]

Good point!   One of our chapter members is very hard on his canes.   He told 
me he orders 25 canes at the beginning of each year because otherwise he 
knows he will get stuck, and he can't do without one.   He says they are 
expensive, but worth it.   He uses the carbon fiber.   Considering how often he breaks 
them, maybe the fiberglass would be better!
