Yep, there's this, in which case not much works anyway. I just slow down and try to time their side-to-side wandering as I pass. If sometimes it gets close, well I just figure that they should be used to it by now, given their voluntary detachment from the real world. (Side track - I often see folks in grocery stores with earbuds in. What's with this need to always augment life with a music track?)

I wonder about balance, though. My bell works and is a fairly pleasant sound that most pedestrians and others on the MUP appreciate (they thank me for the warning), but I am not sure that going to a more forceful warning is neighborly. People like to be warned, not blown out of their socks. So how does one provide adequate warning to those who are voluntarily hearing impaired without annoying others on the path?
