Static Wants to Shave His Fur Off

Chow sent me his goodbye letter in the mail, and I received it today.

Jeff, Thanks for being here for me. I'm a better animal for knowing you. I'm leaving Forest behind, but I'll be thinking of you in my new home! -ChowA notice on the bulletin board informed town residents that the fireworks festivals are almost here! They take place on Sunday nights in August, and there are four of them this year.

~Fireworks Show~ The show starts at 7 p.m. this coming Sunday! Come welcome the start of summer with your pals!
It’s not really the *start* of summer, you know.

I’ll try to check out the fireworks at some point this month. Although, I still have some leftover unused fireworks from last year! Oops!

Static even said he’s thinking about shaving his fur off! Don’t do it, Static! Just buy an air conditioner or something!

Static: It's so warm that even I'm thinking about shaving what fur I've got off, cluck!When I had a chat with Tank, he told me that Nan recently became a vegetarian. So I guess that means she ate meat until recently, then? Hmm, I wonder who what she ate.

Tank: Oh, man...by the way, Nan became a vegetarian recently.Opal asked me for a new catchphrase, so I told her to say “I’m a gem.”

Opal: I love the sound of it... I'm a gem! It's like a magic word that makes me irrestible, I'm a gem!
She was surprised to find that it did help her self-esteem.

I then caught a few bugs, but it wasn’t late enough for the really valuable ones to be out just yet.

Ciao, Chow

Chow had his belongings all packed up in boxes today. He’s been alright during his time in Forest, but I won’t particularly miss him.

Chow: Anyway, as you can see, I've decided it's time for me to hit the road! I'm movin' outta town!Saharah was in town yet again, still looking for old wallpaper. Static and Tangy each gave me their old wallpaper.

Tangy: Hey, perfect timing! I just found some old wallpaper in my basement, reeeeOWR!But those two weren’t enough, since you need to give Saharah three of them to get a rare wallpaper. So I put them both into storage for now.

In late July, the grass turns a bluish shade of green. It’s particularly noticeable near my crop circles. Since the color of a pattern isn’t going to automatically change based on the time of year, it’s going to really stand out for much of the year.

Sick Kitty

Kitty was sick with a cold today. She looks so sad and depressed that it was kind of funny. 😛

By the way, this is the 6,000th picture I’ve saved in ACCF!

Saharah was in town again today, looking for old wallpaper. So I began asking my villagers, and Nan happily gave me some.

Nan: That's fine! You're really welcome to my old one. It's not like I need it for anything!Outside, Chow told me that he was planning on moving out of town soon.

Chow: Anyhow, I'm not vanishing this instant, just letting you know I'll be gone soon, if I die.I told him not to go, but he didn’t change his mind.

After a stop at Nook ‘n’ Go, I took some medicine over to Kitty.

But fortunately, I had two of them in storage. So I took all three back to Saharah, and she gave me a mortar wall. Again! That’s what she gave me last week! I guess this makes her my mortar enemy.

Saharah: Here...a mortar wall. Very exotic... Treasure it. It is a very rare thing.I then took the bus out to the city. While there, I had a chat with my old friend Biskit, who mentioned a girl from Jannali. Jannali was Brian’s town. It’s kind of interesting how characters will remember the players you’ve played with before, even though it’s been years since Nintendo pulled the plug on the service.

Biskit: I saw this one girl from Jannali who had a, um, kind of interesting-looking noggin!
