[nfb-talk] the new canes

[Joshua Lester]

I travel alot, and I find that the straight canes are inconvenient.
I'm not folding by cane, (in order to "throw my blindness away," as
some in the organization think. I'm using a regular folding cane for
convenience. That is why I don't like straight canes. Ray said in his
original post that the telescoping canes are going away, (not the
straight canes.)
Blessings, Joshua
