Two Pennies led me around SLC last night..

So I just had this fucking amazing idea, or at least it kept me entertained while I was borde. Fuck it, I will just give you the rules...

1. You need Two Pennies (Honestly, these can be any coin, as long as they both have a "heads" and "tails" and are the same relative size.)

2. You need a Camera, or something to do when told to stop and look around, I take pictures, that seems like the one that works right now but these things don't need to be exact, I am only writing these down after walking around in 100 degree heat...

3. Walking shoes. This one is important, you have to be willing to follow #4 to the utmost, that implies that you can stop on a dime (or a penny) and pay attention to the world around you.

4. Dash of Chaos. This is an important one, you can't over think what you are doing. Let the randomness of the exercise flow, if you will.

Directions: Heads is left, tails is right. Walk in straight lines, or follow paths if they are there. Start by walking to the first sidewalk you find (dirt path, road, whatever) stand so that it stretches off to your left and right, Flip a Penny, Heads Go Left, Tails go right. Follow the path. While wandering along hold the two pennies in your hand, move them around as you walk, it doesn't matter if you drop one, but I will talk about that in a sec, whenever you are presented with a fork in your chosen path hold the two pennies out and look as to how they are facing, HH = left, HT = straight, TT= right. Follow me sofar? If you drop a penny immediately look to the left or right, there is something Chaos wants to show you there. If you drop both then turn around. All the time pay attention to where Chaos is taking you, if you go around on block twice, maybe you missed something.

I think I really have gone crazy... this is awesome!
