Keaton the Prognosticator

Keaton sent me an interesting letter postcard in the mail today. Basically, he was wondering what this island will look like ten years from now. That’s an interesting question to ponder.

You know what's fun? Making predictions! Like, what will this island look like in 10 years? Who'll win Best Hair on Forest this year? --The prognosticator, Keaton

Last night, I wished on some shooting stars during Friday Night Forest, as did my visitors. Today, I found eight star fragments and one Gemini fragment on the beach.

And speaking of last night’s visitors, several of them left money bags from betting on the ping pong match (which is still scoreless). 😛 I asked last night if anyone wanted them, but they didn’t take them. They were just small amounts (1k bags), so I went ahead and picked them up…and used the money to stock up on party poppers. 🎉

Over by the stone arches, I found a lost item (a book) on the ground.

I picked up a lost item!

When I investigated it, it said “mi diario secreto,” which means “my secret diary.” I asked Lopez about it, and he said it was Keaton’s style. So I took it up to Eagle Mountain, and Keaton thanked me for returning it.

Keaton: Wait, but... That's my notebook! I guess I must have lost it.

He gave me a cordless phone as my reward.

K.K. Slider was in town, and he played The K. Funk for me and Hornsby.

K.K. Slider performs for Hornsby and Jeff in Animal Crossing: New Horizons for Nintendo Switch.

After catching some fish, I earned some new Nook Miles…for earning Nook Miles! Apparently I’ve finished 1,000 Nook Miles+ goals!

Nook Miles for Miles! 1,000/1,000

I really like how this game keeps track of your progress for goals. In New Leaf, you didn’t have a way to check on your badge progress (with a few exceptions), so you had no clue how close you were. I’m glad this is different…although I do miss having a single badge screen to show all of your progress on one screen. I’d love if they added something like that in the future.

That’s all for today, but I’ll be back with another entry soon. I’m thinking of making some more layout changes to the island… probably not tomorrow, but perhaps in the coming week. Have a great day, and Never Stop Crossing!
