This was a summer school recreation group. We'd gone down to the park where the NYC side of the George Washington Bridge's base is located. Also The Little Red Light House.

We're sitting at a picknick table, I'm leaning over elbows on knees.
Suddenly This warm "stuff" spatters all over my hair, and back!!! I jump up, and run screaming out of there.

It turns some workers were tarring something on the lower road of the GWB, and knocked over a can of tar, and it poured out, and down! Luckily it was such a long way down I wasn't burned bc it cooled to warm.

But wow, my mom had to clean it off with ? Mineral oil! They may have got compted for clothes. The rec group didn't sue. My folks didn't either.
It was scary!
