Wow, Dangerous out there!

Last Sunday, Drive to my in-laws As I was turning from Yorba Linda West to State College South, Wham! AS I was straightening out.. No Cars near me, nothing around me. I got to my in-laws and when I checked over the car I found a Big Pink Splat on my Right Rear Quarter panel, Behind the wheel, Below the Window. Apparently someone in the little park had a PaintBall Gun and pegged me for fun. I called it into the police, as that is a Dangerous thing to do.
Then today...
Accelerating onto the 73 from the 55, I saw a pidgeon trying to land, crossing my lane. I could not swerve, and it did not veer off.
Wham, Bird But in my face! Almost dead center in front of my face.
Feathers everywhere, bird spiraled to the side of the road. I have a greasy wing print on my glass. I do not think the bird made it. I could not go back to check, as it was a bad place to stop. The windscreen did not break.

I am going to keep a close eye out, I am still waiting for #3!

thanks, I appreciate it.

Once I am clear of Ren Faire, I will be there. 8 more weekends and I am clear.
Anyone want $10.00 off cards for Ren Faire?

Man, that sucks. But I guess with all the recent SoCal freeway shootings, you should be happy it wasn't a bullet!
