Last night, around 8pm, the 2nd Time Around store on Main street, downtown of Goldendale was on FIRE!!! the fire dept arrived with a lot of people, cuz they were having a meeting. So we was very lucky! The fire was contained in 2nd Time Around at 10pm, but it was going towards Goody's next door. At around 1am, Goody's roof came down...Goody's is a lost cause. The antique store on the other side of 2nd Time Around is water logged and smoke damaged.
Rumors were flying about that 2 HS kids were pissed at Dale, owner of 2nd Time Around, and were going to burn the place to the ground. Then I heard the rumor of those 2 HS kids were black and their are a couple of new black kids in this town.
Dale was there for a short moment in time, but I didn't see or hear of him. But what I heard of what he was doing...laughing and said he knew that his store would go and laughing at Goody's store going to get lost in the fire. Shows that Dale doesn't give a rat shit for his store or anyone else's business.
I want to volunteer my time to help out Dennis, Goody's owner, in trying to restore some of his antique store and whatever in his 2nd hand shop. But I know the SHOCK of it all is losing it all in a fire...10 yrs of blood, sweat and tears as Dennis put it last night...gone down in flames. Their was a lot of support out there last night for Dennis. I just can't believe it was happening.
That section of Goldendale is OLD! And the fact that the roof was covered in TAR and the fire fighters were fighting it with WATER...well...hell...it was long night for the local fire fighters and police man, no matter what!
To see the flames engulf Dale's place was a PITY and then to see Dennis's shop go down with it...well, hell...it just sucks!
on other news, the Tribe has rescended the offer on the job...for the fact of my 10 yr old references weren't good enough...I don't have any current ones. And I had told the HR lady in an email that I would back out of the job offer...if they couldn't handle the 10 yr old references. So my stress on that is no longer, but I am still looking for a job. May just deliver the Yakima Herald...going to apply and talk to the parents about it.
CRAP! Life!
