Just to comment on the ACC contest from last week, I ended up getting 2nd place in the Pinball high score contest. This week’s game is Donkey Kong. I have the game in my basement, but I haven’t yet played it for a high score.

Today is the 4th of July, so I went to see the fireworks at the lake. Puck was there fanning himself, and Emerald was dancing around. Baabara and Kitty were also around the lake, enjoying the show. Crazy Redd had a balloon stand set up (there’s always money in the balloon stand!), so I bought a blue balloon from him. Oddly enough, this is the only Animal Crossing game that has fireworks on the 4th of July. I enjoyed them for a while, then stopped at Nook’s and headed home for the night.

I started up the game to rain once again tonight. I checked my mail and found a goodbye letter from Penny.

I checked my map to see who my new neighbor was, and it was Nibbles. I’ve had her before. I went to meet her, but she was already asleep for the night.

I went home to play some NES Pinball for a while, but I didn’t beat my high score from the other day.

I started the game up and got a letter in the mail from Crazy Redd, saying that he would be in town July 2 (tomorrow). I found the daily glowing spot and dug up 10,000 bells…nice! I buried a shovel in the still-glowing spot to (hopefully) create a new golden tree.

I went by the dump and saw a strange painting–it’s not often you find a painting in the dump! Penny offered to sell me a caveman tunic for 1,410 bells. Does she think I’m a rich caveman? I declined.

On the way back home, I saw Kody once again intrigued with a mosquito that was buzzing around. No offense, but I think he needs a hobby. 😀

I also played some NES Pinball and set a new high score: 138,630 points. I noticed that once you top 100,000 points, your flippers turn invisible! At first I thought it was a glitch, but I looked it up online and saw that it’s normal. Just to add a little challenge, I guess.
