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 walked the 1.5 miles home from the courthouse, it started off nice but it got hot by the time I got home.
How long did it take you to walk that 1.5 miles?
I’m impressed with your diligence. Maybe you’ll make the grand jury next time.

Time to go to the gym, unnngh. My nose feels like an anvil.
Whoops! Copied wrong url from clip board, but it might still serve as after picture for this
My Magic Bear disappeared for three days once. When he returned he was missing an eyebrow and had quite a story to tell.
I hate when my nose feels like that, but it’s even worse because of the scar tissue, inside and out. If it gets cold for any length of time, my nose will feel like it’s on fire.
Cute starter kit! :o])
SQUEE!!!
I didn’t keep track, probably half an hour.
Tomorrow’s story is called
The Jury Pool
It’s pretty silly.
The first pic is scary
The second pic is aaaaawwwwwwww
I gotta tell you, after a long day at work the last thing I want to do is talk about how the day went.
After over 30 years, I have learned to listen, but I wish Mrs. ArGee had more friends to tell. Us guys want to talk to accomlish something, not just to talk.
In a sane country that picture and event would be all that was necessary to prove that we have an oligarchy ruling over us.
A spark to set off the powder magazine.

Sad, but Reid is just a Washington D.C. Bat Boy next to California’s Demonic Duo: Feinstein and Boxer; Nevada will get no traction trying to work the issue from the top down.
IF, however, NV and AZ ganged up and shut of the spigot, and just let the Colorado run out down to Havasu and southward...
I dunno. SOMETHING HAS to break, and nobody in CA has the leverage to crack enough in-State Demskulls to make the needed change happen.
My older daughter said she was approached on the street yesterday by someone asking if she had a minute for gay rights.
She didn’t stop, but she told us she wondered what else they could want.
I wish she had asked him that. I sure would have.
Or, if you prefer:
Bush/Clinton 2016
What difference, at this point, does it make?
Jake came in from one of his outdoor adventures with a great big hole in his throat. Something big had his neck in its jaws, maybe a coyote.
According to the vet, as she put him under to stitch it up, he was saying, “It’s only a flesh wound ...”.
Or for extra variety, you could say, “At this point, what difference does it make?” or “What difference does it make at this point.”
