<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>There was some discussion here last winter about
the various ways in which people "discovered" their staff, or vice-versa.
Then there were subsequent discussions, post 9/11, about getting them back
home. Is it okay to bring them back on the plane with you, or do you have
to find some alternative mode of shipment?</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>And while we're talking about walking staffs, what
about one's hands? There's a great deal of discussion about feet and
shoes, but I'd think, after a full day of lifting and planting a stick
repeatedly, one's hands might take a beating, particularly your palms and the
space between your thumb and first finger. Walking gloves?</FONT></DIV>
