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.
Ok
I made it 99 cents and it has been promoted by the Ebookhippo.uk and Ebookstage newsletters
If it doesn’t sell now, I’ll just stop worrying on move on
You are lucky to have as much of your work available in online publishing as you have. Forty years ago, I became discouraged at the amount of rejections, and stopped writing because I felt I was no good at it.
However, looking back at my journals and other things I’ve written, I see that I literally missed my calling. I should have stayed with essays. I was much better at that than I was at anything else.
For what it’s worth, I get updates about available ebooks every day, and when I can afford them, I will get the $1 or $3 books! If I see one of yours, I will buy it and I will most assuredly recommend it to everyone!!!
I guess what I’m trying to say is this: Do NOT give up! Keep writing and submitting and trust in strangers who love to read! <3
I really DO enjoy your work! Some Sci-Fi is difficult for me to understand, but yours is simple and it (so far) allows the reader to imagine what it would be like if there were “more.”
Don’t stop writing, Geron. Please. Your imagination is the only limit you have! :o])
I wish the internet and online publishing was around when I was younger! Who knows how many titles I could have had by now. lol.
The Internet was a dream when I was writing. However, I think I will try to resurrect some of my earlier essays. One never knows what will come of something like that!
I think, Geron, that you have a really productive future ahead. The caveat is this: NEVER. EVER. Give up on yourself!
Ahdang. All of a sudden, I have a REALLY intense yearning for some country ribs...*slaver* — *drool* — *slurp*
And maybe a side of potato salad...
I have always been writing since I was a kid, I don’t think that will ever stop
That's a retirement plan that I can understand.
retirement plan
That’s optimistic. lol.
All I gotta say is no one in our family ever floofed up a cow...
Milked ‘em, yes.
Butchered and ate ‘em, you bet.
Floofified ‘em, no way..
I guess we were just old fashioned.
What a wussy job title: Coiffure to the Hurd.
LoL
I sympathize with your GAH. I went to bed at 9:00 hoping to have a restful night, but it didn’t happen.
Och!... poofter cattle
Real cattle
...it was in self defense
It’s not every day one comes across a typography joke. Thanks!
The real danger is those fanatical "true descenders". You just can't reason with them.
