Flaming Hawk With Snake in Its Talons Sparks Fire Near La Jolla
NBC Bay Area ^ | Tuesday, Jun 9, 2015 | R. Stickney

Posted on 06/09/2015 5:58:35 PM PDT by nickcarraway

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’ve tried that line with my wife. Good luck at your end.

Bill buys himself beer sometimes, but not staples like bread, pizza, peanut butter ...

In that case I agree. However, the rules of FR prevent my posting what I really call Siamese cats.

You have more birthdays every year than anyone else I know.

I hope you enjoy them more as well.

(I like to point out that every time a child has a birthday anniversary, the mother does too.)

That's why I'm so much older than other women my age.

I have a real estate question, and I don’t know where to get the answer except from my FRiends here.

A friend of mine locally lost his mother in December, and the house was to go to the three sons. However, no will has been found, but the daughter of one of the sons wants the youngest, my friend, to sign a piece of paper that says she is his representative, since the house is in MA and he is in Nevada.

The question is this: If he gives her permission to be his representative, is this the same as Power of Attorney? The house is worth $240,000, with a mortgage of $79,000. The other two sons want to sell the house. The niece is not to be trusted, and the son here thinks she wants to be his representative so she can get his share.

Does he need an attorney? Is she really asking for Power of Attorney? (Do I make any sense?)

Your mother has quite the sense of humor!

I will get the battery this morning. I hope they don’t charge me a “hazardous waste” fee.

Without a Will, everything has to be done by agreement among the natural heirs (sons). Assuming they’re in agreement that the house should be sold, there will be a Realtor and probably an attorney involved at the location of the sale. Contact with the son in NV can be done by phone, email, Skype, Fax, etc.; it’s not as if they’d have to negotiate by U.S. Mail! I see no need for him to have a designated representative - “attorney-in-fact” - in MA, especially an interested party. He should communicate verbally and in writing with his brothers (a paper trail is always best), and sign documents only for the executor, Realtor, and/or closing agent. All these parties are government by state regulation and are bonded.

We have an attorney on the NC Forum. With permission, I’ll copy your question and see what he says.

I agree. Without knowing ALL of the people involved, you cannot make assumptions - and, perhaps, should not make assumptions even if you do know all of the people involved intimately .. But with that much money at stake, I'd not arbitrarily sign away reads, writs, writes, and deeds to an another person inside the negotiations' arena.

I am a Southern lady of a certain age. I never burp.

And you’re right, the girl in the darling 20s outfit does look like Kirsten Dunst.
