Midge Moves In

Today, Tangy told me she needed a Peking Man in her life.

Tangy: Yeppers! What my house needs is a touch of the old. I totally need to get, like, a Peking Man!

So I went up to her house and peeked in her window. Nah, she wanted a fossil…a specific fossil. And she wasn’t the only one with an overly specific request: Opal asked me for a ptera left wing. As you might have guessed, I was unable to fulfill either of those requests today. In fact, I didn’t even find a fossil to dig up!

There was a new house in town, and it belonged to Midge the bird. She just moved in today. I know birds often eat insects, so I wonder if Midge eats midges.

Midge: I just moved into town, and I really haven't had time to get settled yet. My name is Midge.When I visited Poncho, he was talking about the summer heat and how he loves tanning. But would he even get tan? Or would he just turn a darker shade of blue?

Poncho: We gotta get out there and get tan, stat! I'm orderin' myself well done!
“I’m afraid I just blue myself.”

Speaking of summertime, I’ve noticed that (unfortunately), none of my villagers have started wearing bikinis yet! I thought at least one of them would be wearing a bikini by now.

When coming out of my house, there’s something that often catches my eye and tricks me for a split-second. Look at the top-right corner of the following picture, between the bulletin board and town hall.

Colored stripes appear to be a rainbow in the corner.It almost looks like a rainbow. But it’s just the stripes on the side of Nook ‘n’ Go. Still, it catches my eye pretty often.

I turned the game off for a couple hours, but returned later on. There was a meteor shower going on, and Kitty joined me on the bridge to watch them.

Static Wants to Shave His Fur Off

Chow sent me his goodbye letter in the mail, and I received it today.

Jeff, Thanks for being here for me. I'm a better animal for knowing you. I'm leaving Forest behind, but I'll be thinking of you in my new home! -ChowA notice on the bulletin board informed town residents that the fireworks festivals are almost here! They take place on Sunday nights in August, and there are four of them this year.

~Fireworks Show~ The show starts at 7 p.m. this coming Sunday! Come welcome the start of summer with your pals!
It’s not really the *start* of summer, you know.

I’ll try to check out the fireworks at some point this month. Although, I still have some leftover unused fireworks from last year! Oops!

Static even said he’s thinking about shaving his fur off! Don’t do it, Static! Just buy an air conditioner or something!

Static: It's so warm that even I'm thinking about shaving what fur I've got off, cluck!When I had a chat with Tank, he told me that Nan recently became a vegetarian. So I guess that means she ate meat until recently, then? Hmm, I wonder who what she ate.

Tank: Oh, man...by the way, Nan became a vegetarian recently.Opal asked me for a new catchphrase, so I told her to say “I’m a gem.”

Opal: I love the sound of it... I'm a gem! It's like a magic word that makes me irrestible, I'm a gem!
She was surprised to find that it did help her self-esteem.

I then caught a few bugs, but it wasn’t late enough for the really valuable ones to be out just yet.
