as luck would have it, I saw that post about a walking stick, then the next
day I visited a friend of mine, who proudly showed me HER new walking
stick. So I tried it out... and liked it. Much easier and nicer than a cane.

I stopped at Dunham's today and got this one--by Coleman:

I tried it out in the store, and it is very nice. Handy for the slippery weather here, getting to my car and back (we live on a hill and have to walk down to the car.)

Dunham's had it for $18.99 and with a AAA insurance card discount, it was
$17.20.

I already used it today shopping. It is much easier on my hand too. It seems "balance" is my enemy lately, and this helps tremendously!

So I always heed Karmic coincidences....Thanks for posting the suggestion,
David.

P.S. I have a walking stick I made from a cedar sapling, up North at our summer place...and I use it all the time there. But now I guess I need one here for the city.
