Ostriches in the Trees


Did you know that ostriches live in the trees here? I know, it was news to me too. I mean, the trees are pretty tall, and it's pretty cold here. But they do, they mainly stay perched on the branches that hang over cars. I would know, because when I walked out to my car the other day there was so much bird poop on my car. Only ostriches are capable of doing that much damage to my car with one shot.
Speaking of poop. The other night, I went to bed at like 9:30 pm, and then I was woken up by Bill turning on lights while trying to find his cell phone. Do you know why, he was in such a frenzy looking for his cell phone? Because there was water spilling out of our light fixture in the guest bathroom. So he finds his cell phone and makes a call to maintenance and what do they say "woweee, the water has made it down to the 26th floor- it started on the 31st floor!!!!" So they come to clean it up. Anyway, so the next day I asked the doorman why so much water was leaking down from the 31st floor to the 26th floor. It was because a guys toilet on the 31st floor was overflowing and they couldn't get it to stop. Yummy hu?

So Sunday after you told me about the bird poop, we drove by the Art Center. You were not kidding! I saw a car PLASTERED in it! I just died of laughter. Seriously, why are there still birds hanging out around here? Aren't they supposed to be vacationing in Florida or something?

An ostrich pooped on your car?! Did you have to take it to the car wash or were you able to get it off yourself? I can't even imagine how awful that would be.

And yes. Heavens yes. Someone else's flooded toilet seeping into your house? I might take ostrich poop over that.
