It seems  like nowadays you're never fully dressed unless you wear your  "ipod compatable jeans" . A vital part of today's  wardrobe. This is unbelievabke. What will they try and sell next ??

Today's people want to walk around in some kind of music induced fantasy land for some reason. Listening at home and in the car is just not enough.

I came within inches of running some jackass down with the snow plow the last storm we had up here. He had a set of headphones on and just walked right off the sidewalk. Never even heard me coming, or looked for traffic. At least I was awake, or he'd be dead.

One Christmas many  years ago my  parents gave to me a SONY Walkman portable casette player with earphones. They had justhit the market and it was great to have one. The next day I put a copy of my favorite music tape inside and went out walking.I never heard the car coming that wizzed by me and missed hitting me by only inches. I realized then and there how dangerous those music players are when walking in traffic.

These days I sometimes carry a tiny digital mp3 player. It's a capsule shaped device no bigger than a small pill vial, runs all day on a single AAA battery, holds hours and hours of music, has a digital display, am /fm a USB interfasce to connect to a computer and it records. Really  amazing small but powerful technology. But I am ultra careful walking in public and I turn the volume way down or even shut it off if I am in traffic.  I'll never forget that  first incident and near hit with that Walkman. Pretty scary.

One thing for certain.I certainly don't need a pair  of jeans designed to carry trendy consumer electronics.

I see your point as I wouldn't recognize you sans the handgun Cool
