Groucho has finally moved out of town. I got his goodbye letter in the mail today.

If you notice the dirt in the lower-left corner of that picture, that’s the spot where his house was. If history is any indication, that spot won’t stay empty for very long. There almost always seems to be someone living there.

Over by town hall, I ran into Dotty. She was fangirling over Phyllis, of all people!

In Samson’s house, I noticed he had two watermelon chairs (well, one was a melon chair) arranged back to back. Who sits like that? Other than competing contestants on a game show or something.

After a quick chat with Benedict in his house, I was heading back outside. Since his house was kinda cluttered, I decided to take a shortcut by hopping on his bed. But as soon as my character jumped into the bed, my batteries died! I guess my character really wanted to keep sleeping there!

I had to swap out my batteries before I could wake up from my nap. 😛

Nan asked me for a fossil, so I gave her the only one I dug up today: an iguanodon tail. You never get equal value when you give a villager a fossil, but I was trying to be nice for a change. But even with lowered expectations for my reward, I was still a bit disappointed. She gave me a garbage pail! Garbage for a fossil?! Come on!

Back outside, I caught a flea that was on Tangy. I then took a quick bus trip to the city before ending my session.

Next week is the 9th anniversary of Animal Crossing: City Folk! Isn’t it hard to believe it’s been nine years? I may or may not have my annual slideshow ready by then, but I will at least be back with another blog entry. See you then!

When I visited Dotty today, I was greeted by an astronaut! Dotty has moved her Spaceman Sams around: They used to stand against her right wall, but now they’re in the front/middle of the room. One faces the door, while the other faces the back. Seems like an odd way to display your astronauts.

November is here, and that means several mushrooms can be found around town. One of them each day will actually be a piece of mush furniture. Which piece did I find today? It was a closet, if you mush know.

If your town has achieved perfect town status, you may also find a rare mushroom buried somewhere in town. It’s worth a whopping 16,000 bells, so it’s well worth the effort to dig it up. 🙂

I saw that Groucho’s house was still here, and Groucho was inside. He has finally packed up his furniture in boxes. He sure has taken his time moving out!

Twice during my time in Forest today, I saw large fish shadows in the river. Each times, I caught a pike. 🙂

Opal locked herself out of her house, but I didn’t feel like fishing her key out of the river. She’s an elephant. One night outdoors isn’t going to hurt her. 😛

I went in Groucho’s house today, expecting to see him ready to move out. But surprisingly, he wasn’t packed up yet. He gave me another chance to save him, but I declined the option. So he will likely be gone by next week.

Nan was sick with a cold, so I bought some medicine for her. Goat well soon!

Tangy asked me to play hide-and-seek with her, and I agreed. So I had ten minutes to find her, Kitty, and Opal.

I found Tangy pretty quickly; she was hiding behind Nan’s house.

I then went 7+ minutes of not finding anybody. But with two minutes to go, I found Kitty behind a tree in the southwest part of town. And with just one minute to spare, I found Opal behind the bulletin board. She was near the starting point…I should have seen her the first time! Oops!

Tangy gave me a mega echoid for winning the game.

I shook a few trees, and some bees came out of one of them! I quickly ran to the bus stop and boarded a bus. The bees disbanded and I escaped. Whew.

A bit later, I overheard Kitty and Dotty gossiping about me! How rude!
