Hi mARToons fan!

 

I am currently and temporarily residing in a small hotel in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan and last evening I was in the kitchen preparing dinner.

 

A new guest wandered in giving the place a look. We said “hello” to each other.

 

Guest continued looking around and I went back to cutting and chopping.

 

“Just taking the royal tour are you?” I asked, but didn’t make eye contact as I was focusing on the cutting board.

 

My question hung in the air and died.

 

No answer.

 

I looked up.

 

Guest was now in profile and I could see guest was wearing one of those huge sets of contemporary-styled headphones.

 

I concluded that was basically the end of any conversation that might have been hatched.

 

Headphones in public spaces: Great conversation killers.
