Put On Your Freakin' Headphones

Post by SpiderLegs »

So is it just me or do I just seem to run into the latest trail phenomenon around the Phoenix area? Never ran into this when I've been hiking in other states. It's people that turn their smartphones into mini-boomboxes. Go ahead and listen to your crappy music all you want, but why subject everyone on the trail to this? Guess I am turning older and into a curmudgeon.

And see, this is why you need more vibes in your life because those are trash choices. Spicy chicken sandwiches are the obvious post hike choice.

Dude, I'm vibin' it, but I be headin' for Filiberto's taco shop, post-hike. Truth. Rarely go to the hamburger places. And I be listenin' to bluegrass, loud, in my car. It's how I keep the carpool fanatics at bay. Heavy on the banjos.

Very fun instrument to play. As for listening to it, it can grow on you.
