Random thought with Andy




Is now Tuesday.  It was cold Monday.  It's now 1 and and it 15 degrees. I'm safety in my bed. 

I am alone that's such unexpected thing.I had friends as a kid. The i worked in restaurant i had friends. I went work at beach i gad lots friends. I got married  and learn how to  e adult with kids.

So I focus on that the friends slowly  went away. The marriage did not work we were two different people I think we would gave broken up if my judgement had not been clouded by lust.  We are friends now.

After the divorce. I did not take the time to work on my self. Many issues I pushed to  to the side. I had kids.

Then I was lonely scared afraid. So I went on a Dating app.  To find love security. I had another kid.I tried  to be father to every one. 

😊😊😞

3 kids 2 step kids.  I tried to  make it work.  I caused my kids  mental stress. I still did not deal with my issues.  That marriage failed.  

I now had extreme pressure from all sides. I couldn't do anything right. I did not maintain my friendships. So there were gone.

I have now spent years working on my issues.I have made amends with all the people i have wronged. I have peace.   

I also have so much lonlyness  I have not had a date 5 or 6 years. When I working my friends were my coworkers.

Now I cannot work i have no friends.  I try to make the best of my lonly life.

The Yakima flood 96



The Great Flood of '96: A Humorous Look Back

They say that what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Or maybe a little crazy. Either way, I've got a story about a time I was put to the test. It all started with a flood that hit Yakima back in 1996.

The river overflowed, roads were closed, and to make matters worse, I was stuck at work. I was a waiter at the time, so not only was I stressed about getting home, but I was also stuck in my work uniform – complete with the lingering smell of the restaurant. I didn't have any extra clothes or my swimsuit with me, so I couldn't even relax in the hotel pool that night.

To top it all off, our credit card machines were down because of the flood. Dealing with customers who didn't have exact change was a whole other level of stressful. I'm pretty sure I aged ten years that night.

And let me tell you, cash was king during those few days. Customers without exact change made for some interesting situations.

To make matters worse, only a few of us showed up for work that day. I ended up taking on the roles of several different employees, which was pretty chaotic.

I was basically the waiter, the cashier, the busboy, and the janitor all rolled into one. I don't think I've ever worked so hard in my life. But somehow, through the chaos, I managed to find a little humor in the situation.


The Rock of the mountains



Have you heard the native legend of the rock monsters in the passes of Washington state?


The natives never went to the northern pass over the mountain after the first snowfall. The legend of the rock monsters kept them away.


One day long ago, two young braves from the tribe wanted tales of their bravery.

So they would go up to the passes at first snow. Then stay there a couple of days

Then return saying that they fought  the monster and lived. That was the plan. So the took off for the passes.  

It took three days then they were moving up the pass. They eventually found a place to camp out for a few days.  

They built a big fire. They had brought food 😋  So they had a plan. Hang out for a day or 2 cut each other, inform bruises on eac other.

Then they could come back, tell the story over there.They bravely fought the rock monsters. And they would be celebrated as heroes of the tribe. Because they didn't believe there was really rock monsters.

🪨  everything when according to plan the first day. They hung out by the 🔥 fire.  The next day they were deciding what to say.  They thought this would make them legends.In their own tribe. 

Then they saw it movement, add the stream. They looked on and ah, as a creature.

Walk towards them. It didn't move like a rock monster

Is a 10 feet tall face was Gray.

And it appeared to have agree armor code in its body.   Before any of them could react

It got two of them and a couple of strides. One was thrown across the river, but to the side. 

The other indian what's captured. And was killed, right in front of the other indian. The monster through the indian towards the tree line. Then the monster Walk away.  He went to his friends lifeless body and cried.

He realized his wrist was broken. He managed to find one horses 🐎  and began the journey home.

When he got back to the village.  Some did not believe. him. A search party  turn up  nothing.  The survivor chose live apart from the tribe, from then on, it was known after that, there's no tails of him from then on.

A little town called Zillah




I had the best time living in Zillah as a kid. McDonald's and all those businesses outside of town were not there. You had to make a choice what to do on a Saturday. You could rent a movie from a local place in town. No Blockbuster, lol. That was mainly for the nighttime.

I like get a fountain drink from the down town gas station.  Or the "Cherry Patch" convince store.

There was also a grocery store. Locally owned. 

You could do bike riding. Exploring  building a fort hanging out in said fort. 

There was also Nintendo or Atari  😆  Hey Donky King  was tuff.

There also bb guns. Stick fights  and wrestling! Also dares wow so much. 

There was a pizza place "Doc's Pizza ". It has pizza chicken and Arcade.  I like double 🐉 🐲 Dragon. 

There was alot to do in this small town. 

TUNNEL part 2

So there is a tunnel in my hometown. Nobody gives it much thought. If you're a Gen X kid, it has to be explored. It has to be played in.

So i will tell you one more scarry story from the Tunnel. I was going through the tunnel  at around midnight  with a friend.  We were about 14 mabey 15 years old.

Ok I know what are you doing out that late? 

I proceeded with my friend Allen. I kidded i was the brains he was the muscle.  So we snuck in the south end tunnel.  Avoiding  the the police patrols.

We proceeded in the tunnel it was so cramped you could not stand up in it. Maybe that's were my back trouble stated!  

So we go to the middle of the tunnel.  We sit down start smoking cigarettes.  Yes so rebellious.  After we were down the a while  the glow from the other side of the tunnel entrance woud disappeared. 

Then that was spooked.  Then the echo of footsteps  stared.

There were was no chance that there was anyone else in the tunnel. We told no one  that we were heading to the tunnel.  So we ran through the tunnel 

 Got out quickly.  And hide nearby  to see who came out. No one came out.  So what was it? I did not know then.
