Sustainable Forest Fires

On Wednesday, I received Robin’s moving-out letter in the mail. She doesn’t call it a goodbye, because she’s sure we’ll meet again somewhere. And that’s probably more true than she knows, since she also lives in my Wild World town.

To: Jeff, I've decided to move away from Forest. It's hard to say bye to good friends like you. So I won't. Because I'm SURE we'll meet again somewhere! -From: Robin

While nosing through Antonio’s things, I got this curious message that said “Let’s just pretend we didn’t see that…” Except that I could literally see that nothing was inside. 😛

...Let's just pretend we didn't see that, shall we?
What’s in the box?
Nothing! Absolutely nothing!

Rosie approached me and gave me a free regal wall. She was on her way to throw it out, but she said it’s better to recycle anyway.

Rosie: I'm, like, totally concerned about greenhouse flashes and sustainable forest fires or whatever!
This sounds like Lindsay Bluth.

Later on, I held my first bug-catching session of the summer. I started shortly before 11 p.m., because I know more of the valuable bugs come out at 11:00. However, I was a bit disappointed when it suddenly started to rain right when the clock struck eleven! I wasn’t sure which of the bugs the rain would prevent from appearing.

However, I shouldn’t have worried. I was seeing a lot of scarab beetles, and a good mix of the other regular summer bugs too. But the rain also had a positive side-effect: It allowed me to catch two coelacanths!

A coelacanth?

In slightly over an hour of bug-catching (and a little fishing too), I made about 250,000 bells.

Today, Nana sent me a letter telling me that she was over her cold. She sent me an office locker to say thanks for the medicine I’ve been giving her lately.

I went over to the Roost to check out K.K. Slider’s Saturday night show, and he performed “Comrade K.K.” for me.

K.K.: All right, get ready to dig the riffs on this ditty: Comrade K.K..

Monty asked me for a new catchphrase, and I wanted him to say “it’s poop.” However, the game wouldn’t let me say that. So I added an extra “o” and then it worked out just fine. 😛

Monty: Wander around on a day like this one, and see what you discover, it's pooop.

While I haven’t yet recorded a bug hunting gameplay session video yet for 2025, I will be doing that soon…perhaps by next week.
