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.
Boy. I know how that works!
I had the breathing treatment, and my chest doesn't feel quite so restricted.
The file folders are in the drawer, and they are labeled, so now all I have to do is begin filing.
I just found the receipt from the last time I had the BB SUV serviced, and it was almost exactly a year ago. I should do it every six months. Of course, now that I'm not going into Vegas a couple of times a week, my mileage will be cut in half, so I may not drive 2,000 miles in a year. We shall see.
Congratulations on your historic post.
It was Doll of Cootie and I am now suffering from some sort of skin ailment so I fear it had a virus.

Did you two read my tagline? I don’t understand a thing either of you said. And I have to get through the rest of the day like this. And probably tomorrow, as well... *sigh*
ATS THIT!!!!!
Argee was playing a console game called Call of Duty.
It gets busted on here and there as being durkastan (durka durka from Team America world police) and Doll of Cootie.
It is an effective time waster.
And mind melter too.
“That throwing axe.. it’s hovering in the air? What happens if I walk into it?”
Team wipe because everyone comes to lemming straight into the game glitched axe for fun.
If you were understanding what we’re writing I would worry about you.
We’re getting our monemes phixed.
Agreed, that the two of us understood it means there is no hope for us.

I can’t remember what it was like to have a brain that wasn’t short circuited so I can’t relate to the tide of the squirrels.
What, what were we talking about again?
I’ve seen those, but those only have two wheats.
She said she found a three-wheat penny.
Unless dolls have clam legs again.
Wait - what was the topic?
Results could have been worse. Now I’m waiting for boys to get out of the pool.
Gefn found three pennies, grain of wheat type.
Hard find, I’ve not come across one in a long time.
Three. Kitties. Yawning.
My head exploded from the squee.
Do you know Slingsandarrows our Catman and keeper of the kitty ping list?
He likes squee kittens too.
Today’s kitten is beautiful.
You find the most amazing kitty pictures Tax chick.
Now, a litterbox update on your youngest. .
Ah, my usual problem parsing the left wing fuel container rupture problem.
Sorry - mixed signals again. What was the suject?
I’ve had Second Breakfast, and am having a cuppa, so I may get through the day. I hope.
Henderson seemed to get the WORST of the rain storms last night, and the FOX News channel is about three blocks from here, filming damage (piles of gravel and sand) that blocks a lot of intersections during the monsoons.
The street crews will be out soon, if they aren’t already, and will be moving the debris into manageable piles for removal by the backhoes and dump trucks. I have no idea where they take it. It would be ideal for de-icing roads in the winter, but we don’t have that, here. :o|
I have about 250 of those pennies. I’ve been collecting them since I was in high school,
I had many more but they were in a piggy bank that, alas was stolen, when my parents house was burgled.
I still find one or two a year. The three in one day was in Summer of 09.
My dad gave me the entire collection of unminted US quarters for every state. I have those in my safe. Maybe they will be worth something in 50 years when I leave them to my godson and his family.
Good morning face. :)
Got a stress test today at the cardiologist. No breakfast, allowed.
I want coffee. I’m going back to bed, I have to wait til 3 before I can eat.
I had a 1908 indian head penny.
It was lost in one of our moves.
*sigh*
Still have my $2 bill and my Susan B’s.
