I received Poncho’s goodbye letter in the mail today. Some animals write letters that are sad, thoughtful, and/or reflective. And then there’s Poncho, who just boasts about how burly he is. He uses the opportunity to call everyone in town scrawny.

I spoke with Opal, and she said she heard people saying that walking in the rain shows that you’re sensitive. But she quickly shot down that theory, saying walking in the rain just means you’re getting wet.

I listened in on a conversation between Midge and Tank tonight. Midge said that the air in Forest was so clean and refreshing that she could breathe it all day long. Not that she has a choice. But she told Tank to inhale and exhale so that he could enjoy the air too. So he did…

But as soon as he exhaled, Midge was disgusted by the smell of Tank’s breath! He said he just chugged down a “power blaster,” which apparently tastes like the stuff between his toes? WHAT? WHY.

Why does he even know what his toe jam tastes like? And why would he drink something that tastes like that? There is just so much wrong with this conversation. Midge was grossed out and mad that Tank was stinking up her air, and I don’t blame her. This is one of the most disgusting things I’ve seen in an Animal Crossing game. I should call him Stank instead of Tank.

After I finished making my rounds, I took a trip out to the city. It was raining there, too. I didn’t find anything interesting going on, so I ended my game soon after.

I visited Dotty today, and I noticed two Spaceman Sams in her house. That was even odd, because for a long time, she’s had three astronauts! Where did the other one go? The lunar rover is still here, so he couldn’t have driven away. Did Dotty kill him and then bury him in the sand? Leave your theories in the comments! 😉

When I stopped in to see Poncho, I saw that he was all packed up and ready to move out (like we discussed). Take care, Poncho!

At the gate, Booker informed me that Wendell was in town somewhere (even though I hadn’t seen him at that point). But I was in no rush to see the walrus. Now that I have my mystery circle, I don’t need him right now.

Since it’s the last day of August, many of the valuable summer bugs will be gone by tomorrow. So I made one last bug-hunting run tonight, and I caught a good variety.

I caught a scorpion, a tarantula, a golden stag, a rainbow stag, a cyclommatus, a scarab beetle, three goliath beetles, a couple of giant beetles, and several others. I also fished two sharks out of the ocean. Not bad for about 25 minutes of hunting. My catches earned me about 140,000 bells altogether.

Today, Dotty told me about the deep discussions she has with her friends.

Okay, actually she was just trying to tell me that Pascal was in town. Apparently she was afraid of him? I don’t know, Dotty is kind of indirect and hard to understand sometimes. 😛

So I made sure I had a scallop in my pockets, and then made my way over to the bridge. Pascal was there, but I think he was all out of wisdom today. All he said was that he wanted to grow corn? Maybe he’s been hanging out with Dotty too much.

So I gave him the scallop, and he gave me an anchor in return.

I bumped into Poncho, and he told me he’s planning on moving out of town. I don’t dislike the guy, but I don’t particularly care for him either. So I’m letting him go.

And as if Dotty wasn’t being strange enough, I found her walking around near the crop circle. She even stood on it, as if she was waiting for a spaceship to come and pick her up. Sadly, I don’t think the aliens want her back.

Tank was sick with a cold today, so I bought some medicine for him. But as he took the medication, he seemed to threaten me with his horn right against my head!
