On my commute home, I leave the MUP and cross a pedestrian bridge over a river. Last Tuesday evening, about 7:00 pm, I had just gotten onto the bridge, when I saw up ahead "something" in my lane. I couldn't quite make out what it was, but as I got closer I could see it was red, a lot of red. Then I noticed there was a body laying in the middle of all that red, perpendicular to the lane. "Oh great" I thought, someone had an accident, or got hurt, or something. It wasn't until I was almost on top of it that I realized the red wasn't blood, but a blanket (with tealight candles), and it wasn't a body, it was two bodies, and they were . . . ahem, "conserving body heat".

I guess it wasn't exactly strange, but it certainly was unexpected. I mean, it wasn't even 8:00 pm, and it was a school night . . .
