more good luck from a bird

Today I had a run of "good luck". I had to get to the office for a 07:30 call, so I hopped on my bike extra early and fairly flew through the streets. Once in a while you get lucky with the lights, but today it was like it was magic: I didn't stop until I was in tsukishijo, the vast fish market. And that was only long enough to allow someone to hustle out of the way. Then, as I headed across the first bridge to Harumi, an unseen (but large) bird let go above me, and got me but good.
Yes sir, it happened again. I've now been shit on by birds ten times.
The rest of the day was somewhat downhill. But that was due to an eventful day at the office.
