[stylist] More things to ponder

[Bridgit Pollpeter]

Not to be controversial, but doesn't the cane keep one from bushes if
used properly?

What you wrote reminds me of a recent conversation in one of our chapter
meetings.

We were discussing people grabbing the end of our canes and leading us
with them.  I kind of thought this was like being led on a leash like a
dog.  However, one chapter member from Africa (forget which country
right now) said that this was done to keep blind people out of thorn
bushes.  I had never thought of that.
