Today I needed to go to the grocery store for some milk. I
put on my shoes, grabbed my purse, and went out the back door of my building.
Instantly, I was met by a huge, dense
plume of smoke, and the smell of burning timber. A historical building was
fully engulfed in flames a mere block away from my home! I dropped all plans of
grocery shopping, and joined the gawking townspeople on the sidewalk.
At that time, the building had been burning steady for a few
hours. Fire crews had come from all the neighbouring towns. They were pumping
water from the river, because they had already used up too much water from the
town towers.
It made for an interesting afternoon. The building has been
extinguished now, but it is beyond salvaging. It will be demolished.
*Anyways*
Some of you who actually read my posts regularly may notice
some missing post days in the near future. It is crunch time for my move to The City for teacher’s college, and I’m
finding myself extremely under-prepared. For the next 2 weeks I will try to
post when I can, but I make no promises. By the second week of September, I
should be back on schedule.
My apologies for the inconsistency, but I’m sure you can
understand. Moving is hard work guys!
