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’m pretty sure the Fish and Game people (or whoever they are) will look for her and find her so they can care for her.
(And thanks!)
I’m waiting for UPS and the pills they have for me...
My mail of the last two days was a little different, as mail for me goes...I got a free beaded bracelet kit, an invitation for a wedding reception I cannot attend, even if I wanted to, and a couple of catalogs...from both ends of the spectrum. Weird.
(I hope I have enough for the steroids. I have only four vials left, and that’s scary. Dang. I sure wish I knew why this breathing problem suddenly showed up during the last two years. No warning, whatsoever.)
Tomorrow, I have an appointment with the manager of the agency that will provide the aide, but since this company is owned by the one who provided the last aide, I’m not enthusiastic about the quality of the aides they want to assign to me. *balderdash*
$22.95 for a ceramic Tardis...
You are aware that it won’t hold coffee, the lid will not come off without the presence of tea. :)
That’s OK...I have several coffee mugs, but I have no tea mug, so this would be perfect! LOL!
:o])
I used to do my best writing lying on my stomach on the floor.
Weird.
LOL!
I have a sister who wrote a few things, “just to see” if she could, and I have saved her work. I really like it!
Sometimes, our muse is not always comfortable with the “norm,” so whatever position you feel comfy at is how you should write.
It would seem that you are GOOD at what you do! Keep at it!
:o])
ACH! That is a two-fisted mug if I ever say one!
Thanks, Covenantor! (So many mugs, so little time...)
Now all I need to do is find an accordian mug rack for not a lot of money...
Thank you for the encouragement
So did I!
Then my mom took away my crayons and made me mop the floor.
The lost manuscripts....
I take photos of mine ,before the mop is thrust handward.
Face, here's the real deal steampunk coffee bar...
No thanks necessary! Just keep doing what you like to do, and giving it your best attention. The work I have read so far is excellent and often surprising, and I think, if you can get in a few classes, you may be a force to be reckoned with, soon! <3
;o]
I love riding pillion! Awesome stuff, the Harleys!
Ohno....
I can’t sleep not knowing where that is, or how much money I need to get there...
Cruel and unusual punishment, Covenantor...*sigh*
That is the same 15oz mug as I use at work.
The other one has “Tea rations” written on it. :)
You’re welcome. I have a small translation project to do for tomorrow night’s meeting, and then I have to take Sally to her rehearsal.
The place is called “Truth”, in Capetown South Africa.

A virtual visit will provide many photos for your enjoyment.
I can envision you having a corner seat.
And that would be my seat of choice...where I can watch the comings and goings of my Minions and Adoring Fans!
It would be so fun to go there for an extended stay...in SA, not necessarily the bar! LOL!
