Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp – Fishing Tourney (Goldfish)

My Pocket Camp character holds up two round, fat, goldfish. The body of the goldfish is white, and it has orange and black spots.

The Fishing Tourney (Goldfish) event started on August 12, 2020, and ended on August 20, 2020. It followed the Isabelle’s Creek Cooldown event. This Fishing Tourney has players fishing for three different kinds of goldfish.

Season 24: Act IV Bounties Again

A Barbarian wears a mix of armor, including a horned helmet and metallic looking pants and boots. She wears butterfly wings. Her weapon is a pike with purple sparkles. Her shield has spikes. Next to her is a small, grazing, cow.

In this video, which was recorded the day before Diablo II: Resurrected launched, my Barbarian started at level 67. The goal was to get her to 70, but I didn’t quite make it.

Pinky is Disappointed

A cockatiel with a yellow face, orange cheek, and gray body looks out of a gap under the blanket that covers teh cage.

Our flock of cockatiels let us know when they want to “go to sleep” for the night. Typically, they take a little nap, and then move around the cage. They eat more food, get a drink of water, and find a spot to sleep in.

The “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy caused harm to veterans.

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs posted a VAntage Point blog titled “Tenth anniversary of the repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell”. It was written by Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs in the VA’s Office of Public and Intergovernmental Affairs, Kayla Williams. The blog was posted on September 20, 2021, the tenth anniversary of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell”.

I’m writing this quick post based on a comment that some rando attempted to put on my website. (To the best of my knowledge, the person is not on Medium.) My website is set to automatically hold back comments from randos, until and unless I approve them.

Book Reviews, fantasy 1

The Blood Within The Stone – by T.R. Thompson

The Blood Within the Stone is Book 1 of the Wraith Cycle. In it, T.R. Thompson gives the reader a dark and creepy story that exists in what I would consider a fantasy world. The magic in this world is unlike anything I’ve seen before in either a book or movie. This is not a book for children – but adults who enjoy a mix of fantasy, magic, and horror will enjoy this book as much as I did.

Season 24: Lower and Upper Realms of Infernal Fate

A Barbarian, a Scoundrel, and a small cow have just completed the Lower and Upper Realms of Infernal Fate in Diablo III.

After completing the Lower and Upper Realms of Cursed Fate, my Barbarian ran through the Lower and Upper Realms of Infernal Fate. As before, these Realms blend into each other, giving the player a lot of variety of monsters and terrain to fight in.

Season 24: Lower and Upper Realms of Cursed Fate

In this video, my Barbarian started at level 62. I didn’t feel like doing Bounties or Nephalem Rifts. On accident, I found what I thought was brand new content – and I sent my Barbarian there.

The Republican Recall in California Failed!

It is such a huge relief that the California Republican recall failed! We get to keep Governor Gavin Newsom. The counting of the votes isn’t over yet. However, the percentage of votes from people who voted NO (on recalling Governor Newsom) are too high for his opponent to overcome with whatever amount of votes are still to be counted.

Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp – Isabelle’s Creek Cooldown

My Pocket Camp character stands next to Isabelle. They are celebrating a completed task. There are bunches of purple flowers that are shaped like stars behind them and in front of them.

Isabelle’s Creek Cooldown began on July 28, 2020, and ended on August 9, 2020. Isabelle is a special character who guides new players through the variety of things they can do in the game. In addition, Isabelle sometimes comes to the player’s campsite and starts a new event.
