I made this to use on Twitter and FB groups focusing on ebooks. SO much easier than writing everything each time.

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. Absolute frustration. I decided to try one more time, expecting every minute for the laptop to die.
I took the battery out one more time, left it for nearly an hour, then put it back in and went into the kitchen and plugged it in to an outlet in there.
Wonder of wonders, the computer came to life! So I’m a little happier, now.
Is there a search engine besides IE and Goober Chrome? I am so fed up with IE, but my past limited experience with GC has been frustrating.
I dunno...it seems the older I get, the harder it is for me to navigate all the upgrades, updates and downloads.
W00t!
I use Ixquick. LOL! Look it up on Goober Chrime.
Uh... Chrome!
I will look it up, but I don’t have Goober installed. :o])
On my tablet thingie I have been experimenting with browsers.
This one is Opera.
So far, so good.
CM browser kept just closing for no reason.
I couldn’t figure out how to use (intuitive?) UC browser.
And Chrome is just a PIG (you’d think Google would have aimed at lightweight for Android, no?).
Try Opera.
And see if you can get some other electrical appliance, like a fan, to work in the outlet where your laptop was plugged in before. And see if your battery is charging now. You probably ran it down to 0% with a bad outlet.
I will try Opera.
When I first got this, I had the power outlet/dead battery thingy happen so that was the first thing I looked for when this wouldn’t come on.
At least now I don’t have to drive into Vegas in the heat on Monday! :o]
And with that, I’m off for the night.
I didn’t do it!

Night! I’d like to be off, but it’s still too early.
I think democrats base there arguments on their facts. They just don’t base their facts on facts.

I’ve been up half an hour, emailing a great niece who has CFIDS. I have so MANY great nieces! LOL!
Hopefully, I can help her as she is so depressed about not having any relief.
In other news, I have no idea why I got up at 0400.
