Or just annoy them, at least? Heheh. I have a picture in my head of Wes getting out of the water, hopping on his bike, and putting the hat on under his helmet belting out "Born to be Wild" from his speaker hat while explaining to race officials that it isn't banned because he's not wearing ear plugs...don't mind my inane giggling at the thought.

Of course, anyone who knows Blaine knows he's a snob, despite the easy going, sharing, care free 'tude he displays in public ;-) I just started wearing headphones recently. I always keep them turned down, and I always look before I cross a street, headphones or not!! Did you see the new hats with built in speakers? No headphones required for those :-) So sad to hear about that young girl.

I didn't mean to imply you were being snobbish. I just found that article and thought it was a pretty good summary of some of the issues related to headphone wearers. Thanks for the kind words.

I'm sorry to hear about the girl dying, you never want to hear about that. It only reinforces my own paranoia about getting hit by a car again, though (not that the first time had anything to do with headphones.) I think that your tips are good ones for folks that do want to wear headphones when they run.
