sidewalking

Well, I shouldn't be telling all of you this, but I will. There is a thing up here called sidewalking. It's a very mysterious activity that my roommmate Tiffany has been doing all semester, and Shayne (my other roommate) were finally privelaged to be able to go sidewalking. For weeks we had been given random clues as to what the activity entails. For one, it must be done at night. That made is sound scary. Tiffany also got burns from doing it one time. That made it dangerous. So we pull up to campus last night around 9:30, and we start walking toward the Romney. Then we see Tiffany lay down, and she tells us to lay down, but in strategic places. After a minute o my stomach on the cold concrete, I began to warm up! Below the sidewalks of BYU-I are waterpipes that run hot water to heat the sidewalks and melt the ice and snow on them. Under this sidewalk, the pipe was broken, so it released steam through a crack. It was surprisingly very warm, and there was enough room for about 10 of us to lay there and keep warm. Very interesting activity, but if someone asks you if you know what it is, don't tell them I told you ;)

BYU is smart for doing that. But that is a really strange activity.
