[blindlaw] Pimp My Cane

[Aziza Cano]

Other than that it would be fun, and might help some kids and other newly 
blinded people identify with their canes. I mean, if a child who is six can 
put stickers of racing cars on his cane, he may be open to carrying it 
around, that is more open to just a plain white one.
