The cause of an early morning fire north of San Diego was an electrocuted bird falling from an active power line
A bird carrying a snake in its talons struck power lines north of San Diego, sparking a hillside fire just west of The Merge.
San Diego Police arrived to the location on Dunhill Street near the intersection of Interstates 5 and 805 just before 6 a.m.
Flames were burning very close to businesses including the General Atomics building, officials said.
Officers called in San Diego Fire-Rescue crews who contained the fire within an hour.
Fire officials initially told NBC 7 a bird with a snake in its mouth was electrocuted on a power line and fell to the ground, sparking the fire. A photo released by officials later shows the snake in the hawk's grasp.
"A hawk that hit the high voltage power line, caught fire, and fell to the ground," SD Fire-Rescue spokesperson Lee Swanson said in a written release.
There were no structures damaged and no evacuations ordered.
This area of San Diego is home to many companies in the region's biochemical industry.
I got the file frames yesterday (two to a box) and I’m not strong enough to break the side rails to fit the drawer length. I don’t know who is, or what tools I need. It says pliers, but I don’t have enough muscle to put behind it.
With luck, I can snag a maintenance man on Monday (if they show up) and have him do it. They surely have a vice here in the shop...
If it went on from where they’re arrested by the Rangers, maybe you could come up with something unexpected.
Nice floor.
Back from the parade, at which no disasters occurred.
OK.
I expect to make some of these shorts into longer shorts sooner or later. 10k or so words or something that might be worth trying to sell for 99 cents.
I like the idea of Texas being a country and a high-tech but wild wild west type world. I wonder what the populations of Houston and Austin would have had to become for them to merge into Hauston. lol
These things will have to be spelled out. heh
That is where “New Arrivals” came from, really. About 38,000 words, although that took till about January this year. lol
You are a more disciplined writer than I. I’ve gotten so lazy the last few years. I guess I’ve lost my desire to write. Very sad.
Bummer. Joey Chestnut has been dethroned as hotdog eating champ.
So do It.
Oops, that was “So do I.”
“They’re gonna get me!”

I just answered my own question-
Apparently not Google. Today’s Google Doodle has a dog and a cat in it.
I went out and sat with my neighbors for a while. Then the Greyhound Bus driver came home for a bit and informed us he has had by-pass surgery, so it seems his health problems are just beginning. We all thought the dialysis was bad enough.
Not us, that’s for sure.
Coronary bypass, or gastric bypass? The prognosis is slightly different for each.
Coronary by-pass, his second. He looks good but is still in a lot of pain. He was having chest pains on dialysis, and now he knows why.
Being a dialysis patient is a risky occupation.
I advocate the reading of books.
lol
Make Texas a country all by myself.
I wish!
