Driving Blind

Last Monday (September 12th) was Explorer’s Day, and Isabelle was hanging out at the event plaza. She gave me a sailboat model for the occasion. ⛵

Isabelle: It's a sailboat model! With it, you can really get into the excitement of Explorer's Day!

There was also a face-cutout standee for the holiday, so I stuck my face in. Sail away, sail away, sail away. 🎵

Here’s a look at the sailboat model. It’s a pretty cool item, but I didn’t need to keep it. I may have one in storage somewhere anyway.

Today, Aurora asked me to guess what she’s been thinking about. I guessed aliens…and surprisingly, I was right!

Aurora: You're absolutely right. I've always been fascinated by outer space.

She said she would love to be an astronaut and visit other planets. 🪐

Aurora: I would love to be an astronaut and visit other planets. It'd be like a space safari!

At the drive-in campground, I found an average, everyday camper…or at least that’s what she claimed to be. It was Blanca!

Blanca: Hey there! Don't mind me... I'm just your average, everyday camper. It's a nice campground, isn't it?
Face it, that’s not true.

She said her current “face” was just makeup, and she admitted she doesn’t really have eyes. But she said she drives just fine! 👀

Blanca: I may not have any eyes, but my driving is just fine, I assure you.

She even joked that her driving isn’t any worse than most other drivers out on the road! Sadly, that might just be true. 😆

Blanca: At the very least, it's not any worse than most of the other drivers out there!

I spoke with Mira by the train station, and she said she likes taking photos around there. But her reason didn’t seem to add up…

Mira: I like taking pictures here because you can get the shopping district in the background!

But…you can’t see the shopping district from here. That’s a bunch of hare-say that’s inadmissible as evidence. 😛

The view from the train station.

I mean, even if you stand right by the tracks, you still can’t see the shopping district!

I’ll be back with another entry later this month. 🎃
