Time to get off the treadmill.

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.
Time to get off the treadmill.
This week I am! Yippee!
*cough* I mean, oh it’s the weekend, came around so soon.... :)
I do the treadmill on Wednesdays.
From underneath?
So there I was, sleeping in my bed, when I had this nightmare, straight from The Book of Ezekiel, a giant spinning wheel descending from the heavens...
Naproxen is one of the drugs I canNOT take. It makes me faint almost as soon as it begins to dissolve. Go figger.
There is a whole slew (slough?) bunch of drugs I have to stay away from. CFIDS, dontchaknow.
I keep thinking I’ll wash the sheets Monday, but then I remember the doctor’s appointment. Then I think of Tuesday, which is good, but that’s the day that Know-It-All-Fred is coming to remind me to be flexible.
He will HAVE to understand that CFIDS dictates my flexibility at any given moment, and that for him to expect otherwise is being disrespectful to me and my CFIDS.
*blather-blather-blather*
How is Kathleen doing with the current bribes?
No, although that could be the next fitness craze.
I have a sister who used to spin dog hair into yarn. Her spinning wheel came from New Zealand and that’s all I know about the subject. Except that she became a spinster. She said. :o])
I couldn’t figure out why that wheel was spinning. Then I looked again. LOLZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Kathleen is doing not-all-that-well, but slightly better than not-at-all.
Not exactly what Obamacare has in store for us....
So your spinster sister (groan) spun dog hair yard and made....?
Hair of the dog shirts?
Ezekiel 1:19 And when the living creatures advanced, the wheels advanced together with them. And when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels, too, were lifted up at the same time.
Heavy lift transport. C130 most likely .
Nothing to worry about.

I remember working a hand-crank separator at someone’s farm in Missouri. Probably in the late 70s, when my brother and I spend the whole summer at our grandparents’ because our parents were in Europe.
I did not develop a taste for fresh, raw milk.
Hampsters everwhere are relieved at the prospect of a celestial Dunkirk what with things getting a bit dodgy lately....Chunnel vermin and all.
Did you get a card this week?
The Good LORD will have put Adml Bertram Ramsey in charge, then.
“It was a close run thing ,but we got away with it.”
I did, thank you! It was a very nice card: I put it on the mantel with one from my aunt.
Kathleen says, “The toilet is annoying!!!”
Actually, she gave me some of it that she had dyed with grape Kook-Aid and I made a couple of things. The hair is very soft but the yarn was bulky and I don’t really like to work with that type.
The colors are beautiful.
Grape Kook-Aid? That must be what Pat drinks at camp!
