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 was on hold forever, so I emailed the clinic and told them the problem This is the second time she has done this.
If a new prescription can me made tonight, I can pick it up in the morning. Otherwise, it will be Friday before I can get it. And no telling when Walgreens will get another shipment in.
GAHHHH!
And now I’m off to bed again...
Hope you have a good night. Anoreth just set the fire alarm off, cooking bacon and eggs.
whew! No kidding!
We had another storm last night, but today was a beautiful day. I tend to ignore the bad weather, so it’s kinda surprising that I took note of how nice the day was.
Oddly, we had nice weather, but people all over were annoyed with each other. I have no explanation for that, unless they were listening to the wrong radio stations.
There’s a lot of unhappiness that gets broadcast, but I have a really fast reflex to switch to channel zero. Amazing how quickly the poison mist dissipates once you turn the radio off.
I haven’t been on FR much recently, as the news is too unpleasant to deal with, LOL. I can always count on the Undead Thread to cheer me up.
I just posted elsewhere that the Gadsden Flag should be re-imaged with a squirrel replacing the snake.
“Don’t Tread On ... Squirrel!”
What about Moose ?

Squirrel!
Sounds about right
Well I guess we should ask him.
A Moose with crossed Mossburgs....
Sounds good. :)
Perhaps the simplest thing would be to ask Laz. I believe he can honestly tell you: "Scoutmaster isn't anything like he used to be the last two years or so . . . "
I simply decided to return to the type of person I used to be 35 years ago, before I let myself become jaded by the world. I'll write to you about it (or just ask Laz; he knows some details).
So, you got better?

Was it fun being a newt?
Of course I’m interested. However, I know that a lot of typing is hard for you, so I’ll just wait to see if information arrives from any other source.
Good morning!
I finally got through to the pharmacy and Lo! And Behold! It was all their fault. They didn’t read the prescription properly and gave me the Extended Release as a matter of course.
So in a while, after I have gotten my senses about me well enough to not look like I just got out of bed (which I just did) I will take the Extended Release back to them and trade the pills for the Immediate Release.
At least I don’t have to drive to Vegas in the heat. I have about a third of a tank of gas and the trip would have taken half of that. And I still have eight days before I can fill it again.
I know how that works. I couldn't figure out why I was feeling so unsettled and then I realized my Facebook feed has too many political articles on it. My project for the morning is to delete them and just allow the ones that make me feel good.
I have FR to give me the news, so FB is going to be what I intended it to be in the first place...for my family members who are there.
Cute little Persian-type face! SQUEE!!!
