It was finally snowing in Forest tonight, for just the 2nd time this winter. That gave me a nice break from having to water my flowers. I ran into Saharah, and she told me she lost her map.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wait…what? This dialogue didn’t sound familiar to me. Could it be…? Is it possible? Believe it or not, this is my first encounter with Saharah in Wild World! My town is 3 years and 2 months old… So how in the world did I go without seeing her for 38 months?! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Admittedly, most of the days I’ve played have either been Tuesdays (Crazy Redd days) or Saturdays (Lyle\/K.K. days). But still, I’ve played enough other random days that I should have seen her before now! After all, I have seen Dr. Shrunk, Gracie, Pascal, Wendell, Katrina, and even Gulliver’s UFO…all multiple times! It’s weird that Saharah has eluded me for this long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well regardless, I had a job to do: Saharah asked me to make some carpet deliveries for her!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first one was addressed to Phyllis. It was still Pelly’s shift at town hall, so I wasn’t sure if I would have to wait until later tonight. But fortunately, Pelly took it for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I ran into Kabuki, and he was being unusually nice today. He said he appreciated the fact that I came to talk to him even though it’s snowing out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But on the other hand, he later gave me the nickname “Crazy J,” so maybe it evened out after all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It took me a while to track down Saharah again, but she thanked me for making the delivery to town hall. Next, she wanted me to take a carpet package to Tom Nook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I headed over to Nookington’s, and I couldn’t help but notice something: After years of making deliveries to animals for<\/em> Tom Nook, and receiving ordered items from<\/em> Tom Nook, this is the first time I’ve made a delivery to<\/em> Tom Nook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I went back to Saharah, she told me my work was done. She offered me either a blue tarp or a western desert. I chose the latter…though after seeing what it looked like, I had no intentions of keeping it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, working for Saharah was a new experience for me. Definitely not something I was expecting when I started up the game today. I guess I hadn’t even thought about not seeing Saharah yet in this game. But I do like how the Saharah experience is different in each Animal Crossing game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On GameCube, you trade-in carpets (and pay a fee) to get new carpets. In Wild World, you make deliveries for her. In City Folk, you ask all your villagers if they have old carpets\/wallpaper for her. And in New Leaf, she redecorates your main room’s carpets and walls for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just a few other quick notes about today:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
