Last week, I found a lost book on the ground. I returned it to its owner, Vivian. She said it was a mystery novel that she didn’t get to finish. The detective just found out that a vitamin jar was in the polenta. What a jarring discovery!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Vivian:<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

She gave me a watermelon table for returning the book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Monday, Big Top told me a fish story about the one that got away…up his nose! Yikes. That’s one danger of fishing that I’ve never even considered!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Big
It’s snot your fault, big guy.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Monday was Labor Day in the U.S., so Isabelle was outside at the event plaza to hand out picnic baskets. There was also a face-cutout standee for Labor Day, so I stuck my face into it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Jeff
You can’t hear it, but I was making a racket.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I later stuck my face into the picnic basket too. \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I ran into Big Top again, he gave me a present: a portable toilet!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Big<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

He said when he saw it, it reminded him of me! \ud83d\ude2e<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tonight, a scorpion was waiting for me as soon as I came out of my house! Fortunately, I was able to catch it before it caught me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Jeff,<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I visited Lolly, and Rolf was also there for a visit. Or maybe he was just there to eat Lolly’s cookies!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Lolly:<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Lolly said she was hoping to have an oven-cleaning party in five years. As tempting as that sounded, I declined the offer. Besides, she might not even save me any cookies then either!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I found another lost item, a mitten, tonight. Once again, it was Vivian that lost it! But she said that she doesn’t even wear the mitten, she just uses it to keep a porcelain figure called “Softball Girl” inside of it! Vivian is a strange one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Vivian:
Softball Girl is safe at home.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

She gave me a relay tank for returning the item. I relayed my thanks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Club LOL, Daisy and Tom were seated at opposite ends of the club. Perhaps they were fighting like cats and dogs. I asked K.K. Slider for a random song, and he played K.K. Metal for the three of us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, I posted a new video with my thoughts of the latest New Horizons trailer. Of course, I added a few humorous edits as well. Please check it out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
