Headphones (who wears them)

And another blogger chimes in from the opposite side:

Hell, you might as well smear globs of Vaseline over your sunglasses, too. Go ahead, order the big plate of glaucoma with a side order of deafness. That way, you won’t be distracted by the sight of the ground rushing toward you as you wonder what that hot, roaring, metallic thing is that just attached itself to your a**.

Hee-hee... very funny. Even though I disagree

The only time I absolutely MUST wear my earbuds and listen to my iPod is when I am mowing the lawn on my riding mower:

1. Layer one - earbuds
2. layer two - dust retarding bandana
3. layer three - sound deterent full-body headphones (used on rifle ranges)
4. layer four - sun bonnet (like the ones worn in pioneer days) to keep sun off face
5. iPod stuck in top of my cowboy boots (not really - in my jean's pocket)

(I know Apple is secretly trying to track me down and use me for a Tv commercial in this get-up)

Other than that, I can function without my iPod in most situations, especially while on my bike.
