Ask Amy: Toddler-tornado makes a messy guest

By Amy Dickinson, Tribune Content Agency on

Out of an abundance of caution, you should limit your out-of-the-home activities as much as possible for the next couple of weeks.

Dear Amy: Can you please alert runners, bikers and walkers to the dangers of wearing earbuds while on roadways.

On many occasions I have witnessed earbud users wander, drift and dart into roadways, unaware that there are cars alongside them. Cars at times have to swerve into oncoming traffic to avoid their sudden presence.

Yes, I know they have the right to be there, but they also must have an awareness of the vehicle traffic.

Dear Mike: Earbuds that completely block out ambient noise also create other safety issues. Thank you for the cautionary advice.
