Car Wash Surprise

On the day before I was leaving Austin to return home Jamie took the afternoon off work and we had some errands to run. She had been wanting to get her car washed so that was one of our stops. We had her dog, Bella, with us. She found the car wash she wanted to use and I took Bella to wait out front while Jamie went inside to pay. The car wash had several benches set up outside under a tarp and a large stone area surrounding some pretty live oak trees. The benches were full of people waiting for their cars and several were sitting on the stone wall around the trees. I decided to take a seat on the stone wall. I had only been there a second or two when ... SPLAT!... bird poop on my left forearm. It was all white and thin and runny but it was bird poop! I didn't know what to do, there was nothing around for me to wipe it on so I used Bella's back. She is white and it didn't show up on her. One swipe across her back and I was clean and poor Bella didn't seem to mind. I decided that wasn't a safe place to sit afterall so I moved. I didn't notice anyone else being hit but the tree had lots of birds in it so I wasn't taking any more chances. It was quite funny and I believe it was the first time I have been hit.
