Day 1976
Day 1976 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Commotion at The Anchor! Linus Tidewater and Rex Callahan came to (very gentle) blows over a heated debate over the last pickled egg. Rex Callahan is not currently speaking to Linus Tidewater. Rex Callahan is cooling off in the Sheriff's holding cell after the business at The Anchor. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Shortcut runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
