I don't see why it should be unless you were the one who left the 'deposits' and they were obviously of human origin.

After I got through with my morning school runs, my trusty Corolla was used as target practice by what was was Canadian Geese. The left rear quarter, back window and trunk lid were hit hard, A flock of them hang around in the area where my company is situated. I immediately drove to the car wash and along the way, the car was getting plenty of stares. I pulled into the wash and the manager and his employees were surprised by the mess. $40 and 15 minutes later, the Corolla was clean as a whistle again. I have an image to uphold. 

It quite was embarrassing for me though. 

Them dang geese. The parking lot outback of where I used to work,  was under the path that the geese flew over to get to the nearby pond. It was almost a daily occurrence to have the vehicles peppered with geese poo. Very annoying to say the least. You did right by having it washed as soon as possible. That stuff if not cleaned and then sits in the baking sun for a extended period of time can reak havoc on a paint job.

And to have a little fun with Canadian geese or Canada geese...... I like to refer to them as Canadian geese so my wife can correct me because the proper name is Canada geese. Just never sounds right so I still say Canadian geese.

I often wonder if there are more of them in the USA than Canada. They're everywhere!

The Wind! Last night the wind picked up and ripped a decorative shutter off the house. The same dang shutter that ripped off during a previous wind storm last year. I had that thing tightly secured when I reinstalled it after the first repair job. Hopefully it's fixable. At that time, I searched for a new one or something close enough to pass the HOA inspection, I found there was none to be had. I really don't want to have to replace all 10 nonfunctional shutters just to appease the Karens on the board.

So with🤞and some patience I'm in hopes that I can move irk to the pleased side.

Nothing a lot of glue, some long deck screws, and maybe a little bondo and paint won't fix, I'm sure...especially seein' as how it's 'non-functional'.

Those are not Geese, they are T-Rex in disguise!  
 
My daughter and I go back and forth on that.   

And the thing that irked me... my body said hey... time to get up...at 515..and I wanted to sleep in til at least 630. 

But otherwise, things are good.

That's the path I'm currently on. Time will tell.
