Hornsby’s Jam

It was raining in town yesterday, and Midge wondered if we’d see a rainbow!

Midge: Do you think we'll see a rainbow after all this rain, for lunch?

That’s something I haven’t even thought about much. I don’t think I’ve seen a rainbow in New Horizons yet, and they’re generally pretty rare throughout the series. It kept raining into the night though, so my rainbow-less streak continues. 😛

Hornsby was in an unusually bad mood; he was really upset. I’ve never seen him in such a dark place before.

Hornsby: Folks keep asking if things are OK. I'll tell ya what's OK! Nothing! Everything in life is real un-OK!

I hate seeing my buddy so sad. 🙁 Even if he was only feeling so bad because he couldn’t find his jar of jam.

Hornsby: These are dark days...real...real dark. Tell your jam you love it while you still got the chance.

I’m wondering if the recent update added new dialogue. Because lately, I’ve been seeing a number of things I don’t recall seeing before.

Redd was in town, and he had a real wistful painting, a fake scary painting, a sinking painting that looked real, and a wild painting left half that I wasn’t sure about. Since I already had the two real ones in the museum, I took a chance on the wild painting.

Xavier came over last night for a test run on the obstacle course. We discovered that during online play, it is possible to come out of the same warp pipe that you went into (at least if multiple people are using pipes at the same time).

I have three pipes, let’s call them A, B, and C. Xavier went into pipe A and came out pipe C. I went into pipe B, and came out of pipe B. I’m guessing the game determined we would both come out of pipe C, but since C was occupied, it sent me back to B. However, I don’t think it’ll be a problem during races, because everyone will be going into pipe C and coming out A or B. So two pipes won’t be in use at the same time.

Today, I received my wild painting left half from Redd in the mail. Unfortunately, Blathers informed me that it was a fake.

I listened in on a conversation between Louie and Tia. Apparently, Louie called her “Miss Tia,” and Tia said it made her feel like a teacher. 😛

Tia: I feel like a teacher, because he just called me Miss Tia!

Tia responded that maybe she should call Louie, “Mr. Louie.” But Louie said he’d rather be called “Boss,” so he could feel like he’s in charge of something. 😛 It was a cute conversation.

Flick was in town, so I grabbed some insects out of storage and sold him over 150,000 bells worth of bugs.

It was raining again today, so I postponed my initial obstacle course race. I’ll try again tomorrow afternoon. Hopefully Mother Nature will provide some (Super Mario) Sunshine for the race. 🙂 If all goes well, I might even post my video of the race tomorrow evening.

But my anniversary party will be held tomorrow night regardless of weather. Anyone on my friend roster can come at 9 p.m. Eastern time.
