Slightly North

I have decided I will no longer be speaking to anyone who has music listening devices in their ears. I am tired of saying something to someone and not knowing if they are going to hear me or not. In fact, I don't think I am even going to smile at these people anymore. They are rude enough to walk around totally disconnected from the world. I mean, I can understand someone out on the street walking or riding a bike. Maybe someone on a bus or ferry or something. Fine. But when you are at work and walking around places you know you are going to encounter people you talk to on a daily basis, take the damn earphones out. It is just plain rude.
