Pokémon GO: Adventure Week

Pokémon GO announced Adventure Week – a celebration that started on May 18, 2017, and will end on May 25, 2017. The big thing about this event is that players will see more Rock Pokémon than usual. The announcement specifically named Omanyte, Kabuto, (and their evolutions) and Aerodactyl.

Players could obtain a free Expedition Hat from the wardrobe while Adventure Week was taking place.  In addition, Buddy Pokémon will find Candy four times as fast, and PokéStops will provide more items.

Neko Atsume: Chairman Meow

Chairman Meow is one of the “Rare Cats” in Neko Atsume. The only way to get a “Rare Cat” to visit your yard/home in Neko Atsume is to place an item that a specific cat likes. After that, all you can do is wait and keep filling up the food dishes. In general, you have to wait a while between when you place a desirable item and when the cat you were hoping to attract appears.

Walden – by Henry David Thoreau

Walden is a book that some people are first introduced to when they are forced to read it in school. I didn’t read it until long after I’d finished school. The book came to me as a prize in a contest that was held during a meeting at work. It took me years before I got around to actually reading the book.
