Worms!!

Weather: cold, raining hard, 51 degrees
Location: The sidewalk leading to Kaneko

Today it rained really hard while I was at the football game. Then when I walked back to kaneko I took extra notice of all the earthworms that had crawled up on to the sidewalk. This has always puzzled me, I don't understand why they tend to go to the concrete whenever it rains. Is it because it's warmer? They always seem to either get stepped on or not be able to get back into the earth and dry up in their place on the sidewalk. Maybe the mud gets too thick for the worms to navigate through, hence why they come to the surface.
