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.
A third of a foot is eight inches.
But it was a third of a pair of socks that was the subject and a scary mystery.
My feets are not a foot long, so I don’t know how a third of a foot can be a pair... It’s like having two left feets.
The insanity was kept to a minimum, which is good. But I do need something to block the view of the road from the back seat when Mrs. ArGee is riding back there.
Just sayin’.
Does two left feets beat two of a kind?
Get her a portable DVD player and let her choose up to ten movies (depending on the length of the trip) to block her vision of the road.
In fact, I have one that doesn’t get much use because I so seldom get the chance to back-seat drive! It’s yours if you want it...
No but three lefts do.
She doesn’t watch movies. But thanks for the suggestion.
:o|
You have my deepest sympathy...
If you're Five feet six inches tall, and you had another half a foot, then you'd be Six feet tall.
You people and your measurement acumen remind my of my wife. She complained that changing to the Metric System would be a lot of trouble.
I asked her what she knew about the current system.
"Nothing," she answered.
"Then there's nothing to be confused about," I said. "You have nothing invested in the current system, so changing over to Metric should be easy for you."
The Metric System is the Decimal System. We use the Decimal System for our currency. If you can calculate change, you can deal with measurements in the Metric System.
The English System of Measurement has twelve inches to the foot, three feet to the yard, and 5280 feet to the mile. What's tough about that?
GAHHH!!!
I am a seamstress. I am also a cook. I am also a handcrafter.
All this means is that in order to function in all three venues, I need to be able to transliterate the signs and symbols to where they benefit me most at any given moment.

I suggested to my wife that she should have a tape measure made of elastic fabric.
It made sense to me.
By the way, today at two different locations, I had lightning bugs land on me. I took them to a safer place and let them walk it off.
I think they were trying to convince me to come over to the “light side”.
.
Phfft. Like that’s going to happen.
I am all for the expanding tape measures, but the thing I object to is the numbers when I’m trying to lose weight and reconcile my weight-loss journal.
Somehow, it seems, figures don’t lie. But it also seems that liars can still figure.
I will ponder this.
We don’t have lightning bugs here...
Too much competition.
Just a thought.. have you checked with a locksmith? Would at least let you know your options, and just maybe they can duplicate it..
Only in Common Core Math. Because it figures in inflation and other concepts.
In the old math it would be half that.. ;-)
Thanks for the suggestion. It has not escaped my attention, but I will need to research the key on a day when I have nothing else to occupy my brems.
Probably next week, since I have so many other things to focus on this week. And I will need to describe the key...which is not an easy thing to do.
Which Tax-chick can attest to...
Whaaaaa...???
Common core?? Old math??? Inflation????
Whaaaa????????
WHAT???
