Yesterday, I received a letter in the mail from Cashmere. The rude sheep has cashed out and fled town.

Her replacement was Mint the green squirrel. Even though Mint is also a snooty villager, she’s a big improvement over Cashmere. Welcome to town, Mint!

Mint previously lived in my town back in 2011.

Tom gave me a free cherry, and Kody gave me a free pear. Getting two foreign fruits from villagers on the same day, especially for free, is a very rare thing in this game!

Since it’s the first half of September, I went to do some fishing in the ocean.

Unfortunately, the sea bass have started to return by now…but I still caught more good fish (red snappers and barred knifejaws) than sea bass. I filled up my pockets with fish, throwing back any sea bass I caught. I ended up with 11 red snappers and four barred knifejaws, which was good for 53,000 bells. That was more than enough to bump my savings up to 21 million bells.

Today, I asked a few villagers for jobs. Genji asked me for a bug, and I caught him a pill bug. He rewarded me with a groovy wall. Ursala asked me to make a delivery to Dotty, and she gave me a slot machine. And then Belle asked me for a ball…

So I found a volleyball and kicked it back to Belle. She rewarded me with a shrine lantern before joking about kicking me into next week. 😛

Emerald had some kitchen flooring she didn’t need, and she wanted to trade it for the groovy wall that I got from Genji. I didn’t prefer one over the other, so I agreed to the trade.

See you all next time!

Sadly, I received a goodbye letter from Portia in the mail today. Doggone it!

Tom was all stressed out because of the morning aerobics that are still underway (but only through tomorrow).

When I visited Baabara, she wanted me to buy a mystery item for 3,000 bells. I declined, and of course that made her angry. 😛 She told me the item was a neutral corner, and she assumed I regretted my decision. She’ll never learn.

But she wasn’t the rudest villager of the day. That title belonged to Ursula, who wondered how a “steakhead” like me got ahold of a flat stag beetle.

She called it an injustice that a woefully uncultured person such as myself could have one…so she said I should give it to her.

Of course, I refused, and then she acted as if she never really wanted it to begin with. Sour grapes, much?

Rudeness was the theme of the day as I met my new villager, Cashmere. Before she would even introduce herself, she yelled at me to stop shouting. But I was not shouting.

The whole time, her two gyroids were buzzing or screaming, whatever it was, really loudly and obnoxiously! Cashmere should be yelling at her own gyroids, not me! They’re as annoying as her!

When I checked my previous entries to see if Cashmere lived here before, I found that she moved in ten years ago. But the most interesting part is that in 2012, she replaced Portia! Just like she did today! I’ve seen coincidences like this before too, so I’m starting to think there’s some sort of pattern to it all.

I posted a new video today, comparing many aspects of the five main (core) Animal Crossing games. It updates and combines the comparisons I used in previous videos, with some new ones as well. Check it out!

I received Carmen’s goodbye letter in the mail today. She said it was time to move on, but where in the world was she moving to? San Diego, perhaps. 🌎

Unfortunately, I couldn’t clear out my pockets at the shop. Today was raffle day, and I didn’t have any tickets for it. Based on the prizes, I don’t think I was missing out on much this time.

Maple was talking about summer being the best time to catch bugs, and of course that’s true. But I was a bit surprised when she seemed to endorse the practice of forcing beetles to wrestle each other! 😂

I actually caught a few tree beetles tonight, but I couldn’t sell them since it was raffle day. 😛 But that didn’t stop Genji from asking about one of them; he wanted it because he was hungry! 😮

Unfortunately, he didn’t want to buy it. He wanted to trade it for a shirt (a gray tartan). I was not interested, so he called me rude and then erupted in anger. 🌋

Belle asked if I was an early bird, and I said no. She said she’s not one either, so she basically laughed at all the suckers who do summer aerobics early in the morning. It feels like this is the first time Belle and I have ever agreed on anything, but that might be a stretch. 😉

When I spoke with Baabara, she had camping on her mind. When I told her I would like mac ‘n’ cheese while camping, she told me had her recipe for it printed in Animal Chef magazine! I wonder if that’s a true story, or if she’s just pulling the wool over my eyes.

I guess Animal Chef is another magazine in the Animal Crossing universe, along with Ms. Nintendique and Fauna. 😛

I found a new house in one of the free spots in Acre B-1. Carmen’s replacement is Portia the dog. That’s not a bad trade.

She also lived in Forest a decade ago (in 2012). That’s more than 101 months ago! Actually it’s more like 127 months, but who’s counting? 😀 While Portia isn’t one of my favorite dogs, I do like her. Welcome (back) to Forest!
