Default Bird Strike



When I pulled into my driveway yesterday afternoon I saw this trail of bird poop, less than a foot from where my head had been. I never noticed it while driving although that would probably have been different had it been in my face. Eww!

I had always wondered if that would ever happen. Twenty thousand miles a year of top-down driving add up. I'm just hoping this is as close as it will ever get for me.

Ewwww... If you have any berry-bearing shrubbery in your yard, you can be the recipient of bird poop in far more interesting colors. Our island is heavily wooded, and between the bird issues and the sudden thunderstorm issues, I never park with top down unless it is for only a very few minutes, and I am right nearby.

I was wondering about this yesterday. Man... that's scary.

too many crap to dodge with top down driving. pebbles, cigarette butts coming from a car in front of you, people throwing crap out of their car,road garbage and now this. bird crap, the deadly kamikaze's from the sky.
