[stylist] Canes and dogs

[Judith Bron]

You know Brad, you must have seen me in that ditch!  I ran off the road, the 
coffee spilled all over the place and the guide dog yelped from the back 
seat.  My white cane fell off the back seat and now my mink coat is ruined! 
And it's all that chevy's fault!  Darn chevy!  I should have gotten a 
Toyota!  Judith
