Dual Purpose Cane

I prefer not to use a cane, but when I do I have a delightful assortment to choose from. Back in 2003, when I set out to purchase my first cane, I gravitated toward “quiet” canes... canes that would not command much attention, but Jake stopped me in my tracks. “If you're going to use a cane,” he said, “USE A CANE!...
