I was crapped, shatted, dumped on by a bird this morning while Fiona and I were walking. Right on my bicep so it trickled down to my wrist and hand before I could stop it. "Shit" I shouted and then laughed at myself. Being a stone's throw from my building I tried to hurry Fiona along so we could find soup and some water to remove the feces from my arm. Funny how I was out trying to get Fiona to take a crap so I could pick it up in a baggy and place it in the trash can.. just to have a bird crap on me. In the hand that normally holds the baggy for the poop (the baggy had already been tossed with Fiona's goodness.)

What a way to start my early Saturday morning. After a shower I made some hot chocolate and have been blog hopping for the past 5 minutes. Gathering my thoughts and trying to propel myself to get dressed and get going. A little bit of work to do today and then a ride in the dirt this evening.

On a side note - the commute to work is getting steamier. Not hotter but steamier. Where there is less of a breeze and more of a stale mid-summer air that I have to gulp down in attempt to swallow it. The week prior I was wearing a tshirt and a pair of dickies shorts (or something close) and this week I had to return to wicking lycra and polyester. I'm trying to avoid showering once I get to work, so staying as dry as possible is needed.
