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.
Good thread choice for the move!
Uh-oh. I can’t seem to find the packing tape.
May i nominate Slings Drinking thread for the move?
I use my iPad more than my MacBook. In fact, I hardly ever use my MacBook.
The only issue with my iPad is I can’t see the difference between commas and periods as you all have probably figured out.
Love love love my iPad.
For some reason, my OpenOffice files on the 3T slave want to use IE to open, and that is unacceptable.
The person in charge of matching clients with aides was here this morning, and I went to print her a copy of the CFIDS protocol and IE opened and kept opening and closing and opening and closing and would not allow me to open the document.
In another disturbing event today, I went to check the USPS site again for the bottle of BP stuff that leaked in the last shipment from iherb, and even though it had only been 20 minutes since I checked it for the package to Taxchick, I was given a message that I could not access the site.
There must be a better way to deal with a computer, but I have no idea what it is. I can’t recall ever having such a wide variety of problems accessing needed sites and documents in my entire computer-using life.
Computers are annoying, like a toothache.
Huzzah!
Thanks Darksheare.
LOL
Platypi follow the general rule stated in my tagline.
The platypus is poisonous.
What would be do without you, Bob? Oh. Wait. I grew up at a time when kids were actually taught true things in school, and we LEARNED!!!
I was going to say something else, but I think it's time for me to sit down and shut up before I get my knuckles rapped with a ruler.
The gal who did the interview this morning for a new aide told me I had a “beautiful home.” That pretty much blew my mind, in view of the fact that most of what I have is second or even third hand.
However, it was good to hear, so I won’t complain. I try to coordinate color and de-clutter, and anything that survives after that is considered Good Housekeeping! LOL!
Poisonous, or venomous?
Good morning.
