@saab,
I'll put that on my want to see list when I get a new computer. I'm interested. I bet there is some article about that somewhere, and I'll look the subject up.
Which reminds me, I was whining recently about the Only in Italy website being quiet for a long long time now, and suddenly they're back sending me email news. Not all will like it - it's some sicilians (I think, not sure) making fun of italian news. (If anyone would take on bird guano and its warding off, they would be likely, if it was related to some newspaper report. They have quite a resource listing.)
@panzade,
Two of my two cousins sons were beach lifeguards, another a paramedic, and the one that wasn't any of those works with blm.
I need to prompt my lifeguard cousins (I've never figured out the once removed terminology) to tell me stories if they want to tell what they saw in beauty and humor and trouble.
@ossobuco,
Sorry you could not see the video. Here is a picture of a car in Rome.

Worse things than guano on your car!
@vonny,
The ice will melt.
The guano destroys the car paint.
@saab,
Guano doesn't stop you opening the doors and moving the car
@hingehead,
Ice on the road and rain mixed with guano on the road both makes the road just as slippery.
@saab,
Imagen - come ice , come guano - if you have a cabriolet and forgot to close the roof.....
@saab,
Wow. Such a beautiful area and then this...
Meantime, the effects of the typhoon in the Philippines are horrific - with another one on the way. So I feel a little odd being so wowed by the guano on one car on a pretty street - but I am. I did have a neighbor, something like six houses down the street, whose street tree was suddenly where a colony of night herons fled to roost when builders cut down a eucalyptus grove to make room for a hotel some blocks away. Her sidewalk, her yard, her porch, her roof... were coated with white - plus night herons are noisy at night. Poor lady. The tree, a Ficus, eventually was gone, but it took quite a while for that to happen. It was planted in a narrow strip in the first place, wrong thing to do since Ficus have lengthy but shallow roots that easily bust up pavement - it was probably someone's bright idea to fancy up the street with a house plant type tree (F. benjamina often being kept inside in a fair sized pot), probably decades before that woman lived there.
@ossobuco,
It is so sad for the people in the Philippines. It will take a long time for them to clean up and so much longer to get back to normality if ever. Also they will loose income on tourists.
We see it time after time that because of tourists and beauty often houses are buildt too close to water. Whatever in tropical areas or northern Europe along the rivers.
And this is also nature -
