cane seat on the 'net and it was at Dick's sporting, only two in-store, so I rushed over there. Empty store, like Target, how do they stay open? It was in the Golf department, never heard of such a thing. It looked sturdier in the pic, almost tipped over when I tried sitting.

I told the almost elderly (I'm 73) salesman/manager that I was happy to be their customer, finally because I don't hunt/fish/exercise so there's nearly nothing I can do for them, plus that I appreciate this company's gun-control policy.

As it turned out, when I went to the polling site closest to me the machines had gone down and had to go elsewhere where there was NOBODY in line, such that I had no use for my survival kit.
