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’m trying to avoid that. It disturbs me to not find what I need.
The progress on my “paper hunt” is slow, but it is happening. The file folders are all named, but I need to buy a banker’s box to hold some stuff in for my ex. I can’t find him but I know he will show up sooner or later.
Now I need to begin to file things. :o| A job for Supermom.
I just use the grocery store. They have everything, so when I see what I don’t have, then I put it in the cart.
Haha. I would do that, too, if I had a brain that actually functioned properly. I cannot brain today.

Tell all your friends who like indie SF ebooks!!
Sally has been “hired” - no pay - for the youth theater troupe at the Renaissance Festival. It will be a major driving commitment, but maybe we can work out a carpool she and DP get on Facebook with the group.
It’s a great opportunity for her to develop as a performer.
Good for her!
The performances are based on Renaissance and Elizabethan popular theater ... so I think the entire family will be doing theater-history unit study this fall. Essays!
I predict that Vlad will take to it immediately: he’s a quick thinker.
Kathleen has Done It! Hopefully this will be an exciting new trend, not a one-time fluke.
I’m going to take a break from Free Republic
Someone come and tell me when Trump-Mania ends (which is inevitable because he is not in any way conservative)
I’ll probably drop by these threads now and then though
Just let me know when this is a conservative forum again.
I bet you’ll get a lot done!
We tend to concentrate on other, different, nonsense.
You would be safe to continue visiting here, if nowhere else, just like the rest of us.
I’ll bet he really just wants to avoid us until I stop talking about Kathleen’s toilet training.
I’ve requested several books about improvisational acting from the library, and there are numerous performances Sally can view if she can figure out how to work their [evideo] function. If she’s going to do this, we’ll make it as much of a Learning Experience as possible.
Essays!
You’re just over the moon. Huzzah for Kathleen.
You have to fight, for your right to use the potty!
:)
Good one!
Please hang out here.
I.don’t think anyone’s really mentioned the Donald here. Or his hair.
I needed a few days off the Internet, it’s good to do that every now and then.
Now I’m glued for the next few days to see the pictures of Pluto. And kitties.
Yoga kitty?
I’m convinced kittehs have no bones.
I came up with that before the morning coffee. .
Impressive!
I was inspired by Kathleen.
Jake certainly gives the appearance of having no bones!
I’ve had coffee and will now get dressed and get children out of bed. Vacation Bible School this week (Sally, Vlad, Frank); we need to be at church at 8:30.
