Hi, Barb

You're right, that's not much of a spike. It might not do what you need it to do. Of course, it might work for me. We haven't had much of winter in Denver, not for a long, long time, not since the Earth turned toasty. I might get by with just a little spirit gum on the end of my cane. I'm only kidding, of course. I would like to find a cane––or a cane tip–– that would stand me in good stead ("stand me in good stead" is that a pun?) should my city ever again be visited by a difficult winter.

Here's wishing you a fine weekend!
Ray
