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.
He actually had it right, without the comma. It was just an odd arrangement of words to convey the meaning.
Read "collision" as "collusion." New reading glasses, maybe? Glad to hear nothing serious. Prayers continuing....
Thank you! I’m sure your consistent prayer has been helpful in many ways that we won’t know until we all meet (one hopes) in Heaven!
I’m very sad about her losing her new car. She’d only had it a few months. I didn’t like it much, but she did!
She has a new dog? What happened to Piper?
Ran in front of a car, up in New Jersey, some months after her walkabout of North Carolina. Some animals are just determined ...
The current Dog actually has a name, Maggie, but she’s been through several owners and responds to “Dog.”
We had a Maggie. Sweet girl. Alternate name was "Babydog". Lots of personality, but she took advantage of Dubsy's gentlemanly nature. If he was in the bed and she wanted it, she would stare at him until he relinquished it.
It's good to have dogs with personality, but then I guess they all have it.
A Pluto ping has been started and will be up and running for the next week or so, if anyone is interested.,
It’s just for a week- and it’s Pluto!

Yep. Monsoon season is upon us and the storms are unghly, fierce and can last for hours, flooding large parts of the valley. More are forecast for this afternoon (surprise, surprise) and we still have seven weeks to get through.
Lucky for me, most of the water will run downhill, away from us. You saw where I live, but I don’t think you realized how hilly we are.
Good morning. Another day of attempting to get Kathleen to use the toilet. I can stick with it another half hour or so, and then we leave for Weight Watchers.
I feel like I’ve been beaten up. My rib cage feels tight and sore, so I probably need to go have a breathing treatment.
There were plans for this morning, but I may shelve them if I don’t feel better.
It’s probably because I was out of so many herbals for two weeks, and then had none yesterday while I was waiting for UPS. He didn’t get here until midafternoon, and I could only take the evening pills. I know better than to take a full days’ worth at one time.
This morning, before I did anything else, I got the pills sorted for the next five days. I had forgotten how many I took, but the lack of them is probably why I’ve been a little “off” in a lot of ways.
I hope things go better now that you have all your pills!
Maybe tomorrow I’ll stick Sally with Kathleen and the toilet issue. Today, Sally isn’t up yet.
I keep forgetting about stamps.com and they took money out of my account so I can’t get my steroid. I think, after all these years, I will cancel them, especially since I now have a vehicle again. At least I wouldn’t have to worry about that money coming out. It’s too easy to forget about.
That’s a good idea. I don’t like automatic payments. I like to write a check!
I have a balance there and can get 10 stamps, but I can’t get the thing to print. It’s all online, now, from their website, rather than a separate page. That bites. I’m used to accessing it from the Desktop.
That’s it. I’m going for a breathing treatment. I can’t do anything about the stamps until 0600 when they open, and I will call them then.
Good luck with the breathing! I need to find all my people and get them ready to go. I do NOT want to go to WW, but if I don’t go today, things will only get worse.
Actually, I was using the game on PlayStation. I don’t have the wherewithal to really go to Durastan.
What’s a three-wheat penny?
Call of Duty or one of the other similar “Durka Durka *bang*” games?
